(b) Designation and specification of the products:

(1) foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from DAS-24236-5×DAS-21Ø23-5×MON-88913-8 cotton;

(2) feed containing, consisting of, or produced from DAS-24236-5×DAS-21Ø23-5×MON-88913-8 cotton;

(3) DAS-24236-5×DAS-21Ø23-5×MON-88913-8 cotton in products containing it or consisting of it for any other than (1) and (2), with the exception of cultivation.

The genetically modified DAS-24236-5×DAS-21Ø23-5×MON-88913-8 cotton, as described in the application, expresses the phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT) protein which confers tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides and the modified CP4 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (CP4EPSPS) protein which confers tolerance to glyphosate herbicides, Cry1F and Cry1Ac proteins, conferring protection against certain lepidopteran insect pests.

(c) Labelling:

(1) For the purposes of the labelling requirements laid down in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, and in Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003, the ‘name of the organism’ shall be ‘cotton’;
