- 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.
- Fertile plant material (potato tuber) has to be transported and stored in closed and clearly labelled repositories at any time outside the release site. The label need to distinctively describe the LMO and it needs to be noted that this potato is unfit for consumption. All remaining fertile plant material has to be destroyed by disruption of their germination capacity, e.g. via fermentation within a biogas plant.
- Inspection of the release site on unexpected biological traits of the LMO and on disturbance by wildlife has to be accomplished every four weeks during the experimental release and sufficient risk measures have to be performed.
- After completion of the field trial the soil of the release site has to be loosen up (first 20 cm of the soil) but not to be ploughed. Uncovered potato tubers have to be collected by hand and destroyed as previously described.
- After completion of the field trial an inspection every four weeks of the release site for transgenic potato volunteers, their documentation and removal and disposal has to be accomplished during the growing season or if volunteers were observed for one year longer if volunteers were observed. The release site must not be cultivated with plants impairing the detection of transgenic volunteers.
