“…In Section 3.1, EFSA summarises the main concerns raised by Monsanto on the EFSA GMO Panel recommendations on the IRM of maize MON 810. In Section 3.2, EFSA considers the relevance and assesses the implications of these concerns on previous EFSA GMO Panel recommendations (EFSA GMO Panel, 2011b, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015.…”

“…EFSA clarifies here the previously recommended sampling approach and provides the requested definitions of the terminology used by its GMO Panel (EFSA GMO Panel, 2011b, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015. For the sake of harmonisation across all EU Member States, EFSA no longer refers to 'politically defined' areas such as province/county/lander owing to the variability in scale across Member States.…”

“…In the view of EFSA, Monsanto's opinion that the previous recommendations of the EFSA GMO Panel imply an extra burden in terms of sampling target pests and cannot be implemented (EFSA GMO Panel, 2011b, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 is based on a misinterpretation of EFSA's recommendations. In this respect, EFSA confirms that sampling is not required for a total of 24 'zones' (i.e.…”

Following a request of the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assessed the concerns raised by Monsanto on the previous EFSA GMO Panel's recommendations on its insect resistance management (IRM) plan for maize MON 810. EFSA specifically considered the feasibility of its recommendations for sampling target pests in order to optimise the sampling protocols. EFSA recommends the identification of large geographical areas (e.g. Ebro valley in Spain) where maize MON 810 adoption rate and target pest pressure are high. EFSA suggests focusing the collection of the target pest larvae in three 'sampling zones' instead of sampling extensively over entire 'geographical areas'. In response to Monsanto's concerns, EFSA also re-used the same resistance evolution model as before to assess whether the IRM approach of Monsanto enables the early detection of resistance so that alternative management measures can be adopted to prevent field resistance. Notwithstanding the difficulty to estimate the density-dependent (DD) mortality of target pests, EFSA considered a range of DD values in the new simulations performed with the same resistance evolution model as before. Based on the results of the new model simulations, EFSA concludes that the previous conclusions and recommendations of the EFSA GMO Panel remain valid. EFSA therefore advocates setting the detection limit for resistance allele frequency at 1 % or 3 % depending on the adoption rate of maize MON 810. Moreover, EFSA recommends to annually sample bi-/multi-voltine target pest populations in areas where maize MON 810 adoption rate is at least 60 % of the total cultivated maize.

Following a request from the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluated the documentation submitted by France under Article 34 of Regulation (EC) 1829/2003 in support of its request to prohibit the cultivation of genetically modified maize MON 810 in the EU. Neither the scientific publications cited in the documentation submitted by France with relevance to maize MON 810 nor the arguments put forward by France reveal any new information that would invalidate the previous risk assessment conclusions and risk management recommendations made by the EFSA GMO Panel. EFSA considers that the previous GMO Panel risk assessment conclusions and risk management recommendations on maize MON 810 remain valid and applicable. Therefore, EFSA concludes that, based on the documentation submitted by France, there is no specific scientific evidence, in terms of risk to human and animal health or the environment, that would support the adoption of an emergency measure on the cultivation of maize MON 810 under Article 34 of Regulation (EC) 1829/2003.
