THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed, and in particular to Article 9(2) and Article 21(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Dow AgroSciences Europe, based in the United Kingdom, is representative in the Union of Dow AgroSciences LLC, Mycogen Seeds and M.S. Technologies LLC, based in the United States, pursuant to Commission Decision 2011/891/EU and Commission Implementing Decisions (EU) 2017/1211, (EU) 2017/2449 and (EU) 2017/2450 for genetically modified food and feed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(2) Dow AgroSciences Europe is also the authorisation holder for genetically modified products authorised pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1212.
(3) By letter dated 13 September 2018, Dow AgroSciences Europe requested the Commission, in the context of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, that the authorisations for genetically modified food and feed for which the company is representative or authorisation holder, should be transferred to Dow AgroSciences Distribution S.A.S., based in France. Dow AgroSciences Distribution S.A.S confirmed its agreement with the transfer by a letter dated 7 September 2018.
(4) By letter dated 10 October 2018, M.S. Technologies LLC confirmed its agreement with the transfer of the authorisations from the current representative.
(5) By letter dated 12 October 2018, Dow AgroSciences LLC also confirmed its agreement with the transfer of the representative and clarified that Mycogen Seeds is a subsidiary of Dow AgroSciences LLC.
(6) The proposed amendments concerning the authorisation holders and consequently addressees of the authorisation decisions are purely administrative in nature and therefore do not entail a new assessment of the products concerned.
(7) Decision 2011/891/EU and Implementing Decisions (EU) 2017/1211, (EU) 2017/1212, (EU) 2017/2449 and (EU) 2017/2450 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
