Scientific opinion on an application for renewal of authorisation for continued marketing of maize 59122 and derived food and feed submitted under articles 11 and 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 by Pioneer Overseas Corporation and Dow AgroSciences LLC
Résumé
Following the submission of application EFSA-GMO-RX-003 under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 from
Pioneer Overseas Corporation and Dow AgroSciences LLC, the Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms
of the European Food Safety Authority (GMO Panel) was asked to deliver a scientific risk assessment
on the data submitted in the context of the renewal of authorisation application of the insect-resistant
genetically modified maize 59122. The data received in the context of this renewal application
contained post-market environmental monitoring reports, a systematic search and evaluation of
literature, updated bioinformatics analyses, and additional documents or studies performed by or on
behalf of the applicant. The GMO Panel assessed these data for possible new hazards, modified
exposure or new scientific uncertainties identified during the authorisation period and not previously
assessed in the context of the original application. Under the assumption that the DNA sequence of
the event in maize 59122 considered for renewal is identical to the corrected sequence of the originally
assessed event, the GMO Panel concludes that no new hazards or modified exposure and no new
scientific uncertainties were identified that would change the conclusions of the original risk
assessment on maize 59122.
