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 and has to keep separately from non transgenic plant material. The label needs to distinctively describe the LMO and it needs to be noted that this potato is unfit for consumption (food and feed). All remaining fertile plant material has to be destroyed by disruption of their germination capacity.
- Inspection of release site on unexpected biological traits of the LMO and reciprocal effects between LMO and other organisms has to be accomplished weekly during the experimental release and monthly after the experimental release.
-   Monthly inspection of the surrounding area (20 m) of the release site for transgenic potato volunteers and their removal and disposal.
-  After harvest the first 15-20 cm of upper soil of the release site have to be loosen up. Potato tubers that emerge during that procedure have to be manually collected, removed, and destroyed by disruption of their germination capacity (incineration, chopping, squeezing).
- After completion of the field trial monthly inspection of release site and surrounding areas (20 m) for transgenic potato volunteers, their documentation and removal and disposal has to be accomplished for one year, or longer if volunteers were observed. No plant species must be cultivated on the release site that impairs the detection of transgenic potato volunteers.
- A sign indicating "Versuchspflanzen, nicht zum Verzehr geeignet. Eine Entnahme durch Unbefugte ist nicht gestattet." (test plants not suitable for consumption, unauthorized removal is not permitted) has to be put up at the release site.
