Result of the decision
Approval of the import and/or use of the LMO(s) with conditions
- Prior to and during the flowering time, the field site has to be inspected twice a week for flowering aspen. Trees which are developing flower buds are to be removed before flowering.
- After completion of the field trial the release site and a surrounding area of 15 m have to be inspected for remaining roots and developing basal shoots for two years. Plant material that remains on the release site after the harvest has to be removed and destroyed by chopping or chemical treatment.
-       The inspection period has to be prolonged for one year if volunteeer hybrid aspen emerge in the last year of the inspection period.
- No plant species must be cultivated on the release site that impairs the detection of transgenic aspen volunteers.
