Country introduction: The process for authorising a new GMO is based on the EU regulation on GM food and feed (1829/2003). An application for authorising food or feed consisting of or made from a GMO must be submitted to the national authorities. The national authority then sends the application to the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) for a risk assessment. EFSA then makes the application summary available to the public. No matter where in the EU the company applies, EFSA assesses the risks the GMO presents for the environment, human health and animal safety. If the application covers cultivation, EFSA delegates the environmental risk assessment to an EU country which sends EFSA its risk assessment report. After performing the risk assessment, EFSA submits its scientific opinion to the European Commission and to EU countries. The opinion is made available to the public, except for certain confidential aspects. Once EFSA publishes its risk assessment, the public has 30 days to comment on the Commission website for applications under Reg. 1829/2003, and on the Joint Research Centre website on the assessment report of the "lead" EU country for applications under Directive 2001/18. Within 3 months of receiving EFSA's opinion, the Commission grants or refuses the authorisation in a proposal. If it differs from EFSA’s opinion, it must explain why. National representatives approve the Commission’s proposal by qualified majority in: (1) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health if the application was submitted under Reg. 1829/2003; (2) The Regulatory Committee under Directive 2001/18/EC if the application was submitted under Dir. 2001/18. The proposal is adopted if the Committee agrees with it. If there is no opinion, the Commission may summon an Appeal Committee where EU countries can adopt or reject the proposal. If the Appeal Committee makes no decision, the Commission may adopt its proposal. Authorisations are valid for 10 years (renewable). Useful links

Pioneer Hi-Bred Australia Ltd |
| Summary of application: |
Pioneer Hi-Bred Australia Ltd on behalf of Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc has submitted, an application to FSANZ to vary Standard 1.5.2 – Food produced using Gene Technology – in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to include food from a new genetically modified (GM) corn line with OECD Unique Identifier DP-004114-3 (also referred to as line 4114). The corn has been modified to be tolerant to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium (glufosinate) and protected against lepidopteran insect pests, particularly European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and coleopteran insect pests, particularly western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera).
Tolerance to glufosinate is achieved through expression of the enzyme phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) encoded by the pat gene derived from the common soil bacterium Streptomyces viridochromogenes. This protein has been considered in 19 previous FSANZ approvals and globally is represented in six major crop species and over 30 approved GM single plant events.
Protection against lepidopteran insect pests is conferred by the cry1F gene, which is a synthetic version of a gene from Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai, and encodes a truncated version of an insecticidal protein, Cry1F. Protection against coleopteran insect pests is conferred by two genes, cry34Ab1 and cry35Ab1 both from B. thuringiensis strain PS149B1 and encoding the insecticidal proteins Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1. These proteins have both been considered previously by FSANZ.
Line 4114 is a molecular stack3 that, in terms of traits, is the equivalent of a breeding stack (known commercially as Herculex® XTRA) obtained by crossing two corn lines, DAS-01507-1 (line 1507) and DAS-59122-7 (line 59122). Food from both of these lines has been approved by FSANZ in applications A446 (FSANZ 2003) and A543 (FSANZ 2005) respectively and hence, food from the breeding stack is also approved to enter the Australian and New Zealand food supplies. The breeding stack was grown on approximately 10,000,000 ha in the U.S. in 2013.
Food from line 4114 requires a separate approval since it represents a unique molecular event although the expressed traits are the same as those already assessed by FSANZ. The purpose in developing the line 4114 molecular stack was to have all of the inserted genes on a single transformation construct integrated at a single genetic locus in the corn genome. Line 4114 therefore has an advantage over the breeding stack because having three linked traits at a single locus will simplify future breeding efforts. The Applicant has stated that line 4114 is not intended to be a stand-alone product and will be crossed by conventional breeding with other approved GM corn lines as well as conventional lines.
The Applicant indicates that any lines containing the DP-004114-3 event will be grown primarily in North America, and approval for cultivation in Australia or New Zealand is not currently being sought. Therefore, if approved, food derived from this line may enter the Australian and New Zealand food supply as imported food products. |

Stacked events: FSANZ does not: Separately assess food from stacked event lines where food from the GM parents has already been approved; Mandate notification of stacked events by developers; Notify the public of stacked event ‘approvals’; List food derived from stacked event lines in the Code, unless the stacked event line has been separately assessed as a single line e.g. Application A518: MXB-13 cotton (DAS-21023-5 x DAS-24236-5)
No separate approval or safety assessment is necessary for foods derived from a stacked GM line that is the result of traditional breeding between a number of GM parent lines for which food has already been approved. Food from the parent lines must be listed in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. The parent lines may contain any number of different genes. If food from any of the GM parent lines has not been approved, then a full pre-market safety assessment of food from the stacked line must be undertaken.
No separate approval is required for food derived from a line that is the product of a GM line, for which food has been approved, crossed traditionally with a non-GM line.
Where a single line containing a number of genes has been produced as a result of direct gene technology methods (rather than traditional crossing) then food derived from the line must undergo a full pre-market safety assessment before approval can be given Contact details of the competent authority(s) responsible for the safety assessment and the product applicant: Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) (http://www.foodstandards.gov.au)

| Summary of the safety assessment (food safety): |
CTNBio, after analyzing the request for commercial release of genetically modified corn DP-ØØ4114-3 and its derivatives for use in human and animal food, including the purposes of handling, processing, commercialization, transport, import, export, storage, consumption and disposal, decided by the GRANTING according to this technical opinion. Corn DP-ØØ4114-3 (DP4114) confers resistance to insect pests and tolerance to herbicides containing the active ingredient glufosinate ammonium. This maize was obtained by Agrobacterium tumefasciens-mediated transformation using a single genetic construct for the introduction of cry1F, cry34Ab1, cry35Ab1 and pat genes. The cry1F gene, isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai, expresses the Cry1F protein that confers resistance to certain lepidopteran pests; genes cry34Ab1 and cry35Ab1, both isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis, express proteins Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1 that promote resistance to certain pest insects of the order Coleoptera; and the pat gene, isolated from Streptomyces viridochromogenes, expresses the PAT protein, which confers tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium. |

Country introduction: Brazil had the first biosafety law approved in 1995. After the identification of the need to improve the biosafety system of Brazilian genetically modified organisms, a new law was published. The Law 11.105 / 05 establishes a technical committee dedicated to the analysis of the safety aspects of genetically modified organisms and a council of ministers that is dedicated to the analysis of the socioeconomic aspects of the commercial release of genetically modified organisms. In this context, Brazil already has several commercial products that involve genetically modified organisms (plants, human and veterinary vaccines, microorganisms for fuel production) and products derived from new genetic modification techniques.

Pioneer Hi-Bred Australia Ltd |
| Summary of application: |
Pioneer Hi-Bred Australia Ltd on behalf of Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc has submitted, an application to FSANZ to vary Standard 1.5.2 – Food produced using Gene Technology – in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to include food from a new genetically modified (GM) corn line with OECD Unique Identifier DP-004114-3 (also referred to as line 4114).

| Summary of the safety assessment (food safety): |
In conducting a safety assessment of food derived from line 4114, a number of criteria have been addressed including: a characterisation of the transferred gene sequences, their origin, function and stability in the corn genome; the changes at the level of DNA, and protein in the whole food; compositional analyses; and evaluation of intended and unintended changes.
No potential public health and safety concerns have been identified in the assessment of
herbicide-tolerant and insect-protected corn line 4114. On the basis of the data provided in the present Application, and other available information, food derived from line 4114 is considered to be as safe for human consumption as food derived from conventional corn varieties. |

Country introduction: The United States is currently in the process of populating this database. The Food and Drug Administration regulates food and feed (food for humans and animals) from genetically engineered crops in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA regulates pesticides, including those that are plant incorporated protectants genetically engineered into food crops, to make sure that pesticide residues are safe for human and animal consumption and do not pose unreasonable risks of harm to human health or the environment. FDA In the Federal Register of May 29, 1992 (57 FR 22984), FDA published its "Statement of Policy: Foods Derived from New Plant Varieties" (the 1992 policy). The 1992 policy clarified the agency's interpretation of the application of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with respect to human and animal foods derived from new plant varieties and provided guidance to industry on scientific and regulatory issues related to these foods. The 1992 policy applied to all foods derived from all new plant varieties, including varieties that are developed using genetic engineering (also known as recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) technology). In the 1992 policy, FDA recommended that developers consult with FDA about foods from genetically engineered plants under development and developers have routinely done so. In June 1996, FDA provided additional guidance to industry on procedures for these consultations (the consultation procedures). These procedures describe a process in which a developer who intends to commercialize food from a genetically engineered plant meets with the agency to identify and discuss relevant safety, nutritional, or other regulatory issues regarding the genetically engineered food and then submits to FDA a summary of its scientific and regulatory assessment of the food. FDA evaluates the submission and if FDA has questions about the summary provided, it requests clarification from the developer. At the conclusion of the consultation FDA responds to the developer by letter. The approach to the safety assessment of genetically engineered food recommended by FDA during consultations, including data and information evaluated, is consistent with that described in the Codex Alimentarius Guideline for the Conduct of Food Safety Assessment of Foods Derived from Recombinant-DNA Plants. EPA The safe use of pesticidal substances is regulated by EPA. Food from a genetically engineered plant that is the subject of a consultation with FDA may contain an introduced pesticidal substance, also known as a plant-incorporated protectant (PIP), that is subject to food (food for humans and animals) safety and environmental review by EPA. PIPs are pesticidal substances produced by plants and the genetic material necessary for the plant to produce the substance. Both the PIP protein and its genetic material are regulated by EPA. When assessing the potential risks of PIPs, EPA requires studies examining numerous factors, such as risks to human health, non-target organisms and the environment, potential for gene flow, and insect resistance management plans, if needed. In regulating PIPs, decisions are based on scientific standards and input from academia, industry, other Federal agencies, and the public. Before the first PIP product was registered in 1995, EPA required that PIP products be thoroughly tested against human safety standards before they were used on human food and livestock feed crops. EPA scientists assessed a wide variety of potential effects associated with the use of PIPs, including toxicity, and allergenicity. These potential effects were evaluated in light of the public's potential exposures to these pesticides, taking into account all potential combined sources of the exposure (food, drinking water, etc.) to determine the likelihood that a person exposed at these levels would be predisposed to a health risk. Based on its reviews of the scientific studies and often peer reviews by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Scientific Advisory Panel, EPA determined that these genetically engineered PIP products, when used in accordance with approved label directions and use restrictions, would not pose unreasonable risk to human health and the environment during their time-limited registration.

Stacked events: Stacked events that are each plant incorporated protectants, as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency, must be registered by the Envriornmental Protection Agency before they can be commercialized. Food/feed safety asssessment of single events are generally sufficient to ensure the safety of food/feed from stacked events.
