Article 1
Genetically modified organism and unique identifier
Genetically modified sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) H7-1, as specified in point (b) of the Annex, is assigned the unique identifier KM-ØØØH71-4, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.
Article 2
Renewal of authorisation
The authorisation for the placing on the market of the following products is renewed in accordance with the conditions set out in this Decision:
(a) foods and food ingredients produced from KM-ØØØH71-4 sugar beet;
(b) feed produced from KM-ØØØH71-4 sugar beet.
Article 3
Labelling
For the purposes of the labelling requirements laid down in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, the ‘name of the organism’ shall be ‘sugar beet’.
Article 4
Method for detection
The method set out in point (d) of the Annex shall apply for the detection of sugar beet H7-1.
Article 5
Community register
The information set out in the Annex to this Decision shall be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed referred to in Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
Article 6

(b) Bayer Agriculture BVBA, Scheldelaan 460, 2040 Antwerp, Belgium .
ANNEX
(a) Applicants and Authorisation holders:
Name: KWS SAAT SE
Address: Grimsehlstrasse 31, 37574 Einbeck, Germany
and Name: Monsanto Company
Address: 800 N, Lindbergh Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri 63167, United States of America
Represented by Bayer Agriculture BVBA, Scheldelaan 460, 2040 Antwerp, Belgium.
(b) Designation and specification of the products:
(1) Foods and food ingredients produced from KM-ØØØH71-4 sugar beet;
(2) Feed produced from KM-ØØØH71-4 sugar beet.
The genetically modified KM-ØØØH71-4 sugar beet, as described in the application, expresses the CP4 EPSPS protein after insertion of the cp4 epsps gene from Agrobacterium sp. strain CP4 into sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris ).
