EFSA further clarifies status of risk assessement concerning MON 863 and hybrid MON 863 X MON 810
There is apparently some confusion concerning the risk assessment carried out on another GM maize, the hybrid GM maize MON 863 X MON 810, which was also addressed in the opinions of 2 April 2004 concerning MON 863.
With respect to MON 863 X MON 810, the GMO Panel stated that they could not reach a conclusion with regard to the safety evaluation of this hybrid. As the Panel was divided as to the need for additional data specific to the hybrid maize MON 863 X MON 810, EFSA requested that a further study be conducted for submission and further consideration by the GMO Panel. This study has now been received and is currently under evaluation by the GMO Panel.
