Result of the decision
Approval of the import and/or use of the LMO(s) with conditions
- The release site has to be surrounded by Phacelia shelter-crops.
- To repel small mammals the field site has to be surrounded by a fine-meshed fence in the time periods from sowing to young plants that have at least one leaf and from dough-ripe stage to harvest.
- Inspection of the release site on unexpected biological traits of the LMO and on disturbance by wildlife has to be accomplished weekly during the experimental release and sufficient risk measures have to be performed.
- Fertile plant material has to be stored in closed and clearly labelled repositories for transport and storage at any time outside the release site and laboratory. On the labels it needs to be noted that this wheat is unfit for consumption.
- Not used LMO material has to be destroyed by autoclaving; straw by burning on the release site.
- After completion of the field trial, the release site and the surrounding shelter-crops have to be shallowly dug under the soil.
- For two years, the release site must not be cultivated with plants impairing the detection of transgenic volunteers. 
- After completion of the field trial an inspection of the release site and the surrounding area for transgenic wheat volunteers, their documentation and removal and disposal has to be accomplished every two weeks for two years or if volunteers were observed for one year longer.
- Machines that have been in contact with LMOs have to be cleaned after use.
- If any new information on the cultivated LMO emerges that might bear any risk for human health, animal health or the environment the national federal authority needs to be informed and sufficient risk measures have to be performed.

To comply with requirements of Directive 2001/18/EC, Gentechnikgesetz (German Gene Technology Act): reduce possibility of GMO spread/establishment.
