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 be kept separately from non-transgenic plant material.
-  All remaining fertile plant material has to be destroyed by disruption of their germination capacity.
-  The release site has to be surrounded by shelter-crops.
-  Plant material that remains on the release site after the harvest has to be removed and destroyed by chopping or chemical treatment.
-  After completion of the field trial the release site and a surrounding area of 3 m have to be inspected for transgenic sugarbeet volunteers
-  No plant species must be cultivated on the release site that impairs the detection of transgenic sugarbeet volunteers.
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
