- The specification of the exact release site.
- Closed and clearly labelled repositories have to be used to transport any fertile plant material to and from the release site. The label needs to distinctively describe the LMO.
- In the case of transport of seeds or seed-bearing plant material from the release site measures have to be taken to avoid spreading of seeds.
- Machines - where required also those used for inactivation of corn seeds - and transportation containers that have been in contact with LMOs have to be cleaned thoroughly after use to minimize unintended transfer of genetically modified seeds.
- If plant material will be stored outside a genetic engineering facility the national federal authority needs to be informed about location and expected period a priori. Closed and clearly labelled containers have to be used for storage of seeds.
- All genetically modified soybean seeds that are not needed as seeds or for further experimental analysis have to be inactivated by appropriate measures.
- After completion of the field trial the release site and its surrounding area has to be controlled for one year. During this time in the vegetation period a regular inspection of this area has to be conducted for transgenic soybean volunteers. Soybean volunteers have to be removed and destroyed before flowering. The inspection period has to be extended for another year if soybean volunteers were observed.
- Also for the period of post-control recognition of the release site has to be ensured by sufficient measures.
