Subject of the decision, notification, communication or declaration
  • Decision on LMOs for intentional introduction into the environment (according to Article 10 or domestic regulatory framework)

Result of the decision
Approval of the import and/or use of the LMO(s) with 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. The label needs to distinctively describe the LMO. Especially during transport, the dispersal of seeds of the transgenic oilseed rape has to be prevented.
Tools used for sowing, harvesting and inactivation have to be cleaned after use in order to minimize the unintended dispersal of genetically modified seeds.

To comply with requirements of Directive 90/220/EEC, Gentechnikgesetz (German Gene Technology Act): reduce possibility of GMO spread/establishment.

The decision on this deliberate release was made by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
The RKI was the competent national authority for the German Gene Technology Act before the competences were transferred to the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit, BVL) on April 1st 2004. Deliberate releases that were authorized by the RKI prior to this date are now handled by the BVL.
