Application for renewal of the authorisation for import and processing of genetically modified (GM) maize MON87427

COGEM has been asked to advise on a renewal of an application for the import and processing of genetically modified (GM) maize MON87427. This maize line expresses the cp4 epsps gene, making it tolerant to glyphosate-containing herbicides.
Because the importpermit will soon expire, the applicant has requested a renewal of the permit and COGEM has been asked to advise on the environmental safety aspects of the renewed application.
