Risk assessment report / Summary

6786-01-0061 (bzw. 42010.0061); Zusammenfassung der Risikobewertung eines Freisetzungsvorhabens (Feldversuch) mit gentechnisch veränderten Rapspflanzen (Brassica napus L.), Nachkommen der F1-Hybride 23-198 (Event 23), erstellt durch die deutsche zuständige Behörde

Methodology and points to consider

Potential adverse effects identified in the risk assessment

The execution of this field trial is not expected to have a negative impact on human or animal health, or on the environment.

Estimation of the overall risk

Adverse effects on human or animal health or on the environment are not expected.

Receiving environment(s) considered

10 field sites in Germany, for details refer to the German LMO/GMO location register ( http://apps2.bvl.bund.de/stareg_web/localeSwitch.do?language=en&page=/showflaechen.do?)

LMO detection and identification methods proposed

construct specific PCR-based method

Additional Information

The LMO released here is the offspring of a F1 hybrid of 23-198 (Event 23, UID: CGN-89465-2; see BCH record 14782). While the original transformant (Event 23) was estimated to have 15 copies of the T-DNA integrated at 5 independent loci in the genome, the F1 hybrid only has integrated 4 to 6 copies.

- deliberate release, no placing on the market.
- crops are not intended to be used as food or feed.

- There is no Summary Notification Information Format available on the Internet (WebSNIF) for B/DE/97/61
