Scientific Committee Opinion in response to the HCB referral — dossier BE-2015-1251. Paris, 18 December 2015

Abstract

The High Council for Biotechnologies (HCB) received on 7 October 2015 a request from the competent French authorities (the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry) for an opinion on EFSA-GMO-BE-2015-125 for authorisation to place genetically modified maize MON 87403 on the market for import, processing, food and feed. This dossier was submitted by Monsanto to the competent authorities of Belgium on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. Under this Regulation, the evaluation of the application dossiers for placing on the market is entrusted to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The Member States have three months to send their comments to EFSA to contribute to the evaluation of the dossier. In this context, HCB is invited to propose comments to EFSA by 28 December 2015. The Scientific Committee (CS) 2 of the HCB examined the dossier at its meeting of 16 December 2015, chaired by Jean-Christophe Pagès. This opinion was adopted electronically on 18 December 2015 and published on 28 December 2015.
