COMMISSION DECISION of 15 April 1994 amending Council Decision 91/596/EEC concerning the summary notification information format referred to in Article 9 of Council Directive 90/220/EEC (94/211/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas the competent authorities appointed by the Member States have to send to the Commission a summary of each notification received under Part B of Directive 90/220/EEC;

Whereas, in consequence, the Council established, by Decision 91/596/EEC (2), the format of this summary, to be used for the release of any type of genetically modified organism (GMO);

Whereas as a result of experience, and given that different information is notified in relation to specific types of GMOs, a revised format is necessary;

Whereas Decision 91/596/EEC should therefore be amended by subdividing the summary notification format into two parts: Part 1 to be used for releases of genetically modified higher plants and Part 2 to be used for releases of any other GMO;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee provided for in Article 21 of Directive 90/220/EEC,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Annex to Decision 91/596/EEC is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 15 April 1994.
