Meeting notes:
The GMO Panel accepted both opinion on Ms8xRf3 and MON89034xNK603. Both opions were since then open for public consultation at the EU.
At its September meeting the GMO Panel agreed on its draft report assessing the allergenicity and passed it on to the EFSA NDA Panel and Scientific Committee. According to the notes the report is up for final adoption in October, and public consultation afterwards.
The GMO Panel also discussed opinions about 3 GM cotton events by Monsanto (MON531, MON145 and MON15985). For all three events the GMO Panel asked Monsanto further questions about the presence of antibiotic marker genes.
The meeting notes also give a short over view over two mandates and three self-task activities that the GMO Panel work on besides assessing GMO applications.
