Reasons for the amendment
EN
The presence of remaining minutes traces (< 0.1%) of the GM material in the food or feed chain after the expiry date set out in these decisions, despite the measures undertaken by the notifier, compels for an extension of the current transitional period for another 5 years. However the level of presence tolerated is reduced to 0.1%
