Result of the decision
  • Approval of the import/use of the LMO(s) with conditions
Conditions
- Fertile plant material has to be transported and stored in closed and clearly labelled repositories at any time outside the release site and laboratory and has to keep separately from non transgenic plant material. The label needs to distinctively describe the LMO and it needs to be noted that this black nightshade is unfit for consumption (food and feed). All remaining fertile plant material has to be destroyed by disruption of their germination capacity.
- Inspection of the LMOs at the release site on flower buds has to be accomplished every second day and the flower buds have to be removed and inactivated prior to pollination.
- After completion of the field trial an appropriate land management via harrowing and grubbing is intended to support fast germination of seeds so that transgenic nigtht shade volunteers can be easily destroyed.
- After completion of the field trial an inspection of the release site for one year on transgenic black nightshade volunteers, their removal and disposal has to be accomplished during the growing season periodically. The inspection period has to be extended for another year if black nightshade volunteers were observed. The release site must not be cultivated with plants impairing the detection of transgenic volunteers.
- A sign indicating "Versuchspflanzen, nicht zum Verzehr geeignet. Eine Entnahme durch Unbefugte ist nicht gestattet." (test plants not suitable for consumption, unauthorized removal is not permitted) has to be put up at the release site.
- Machines that have been in contact with LMOs have to be cleaned after use.
Reasons
To comply with requirements of Directive 2001/18/EC, Gentechnikgesetz (German Gene Technology Act): reduce possibility of GMO spread/establishment.
Does the decision involve field trials?
Yes
Does the decision involve commercial release?
No
