The Norwegian Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) has performed a preliminary assessment of an application for authorization for the genetically modified maize event DP202216 in the EAA. The scope of the application includes all uses of maize DP202216 and sub-combinations independently of their origin equivalent to the uses of any other maize grain and forage. The assessment was performed in connection with EFSAs (European Food Safety Authorities) public hearing of application EFSA-GMO-NL-2019-159, on request from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority and the Norwegian Environment Agency. The assessment of maize DP202216 is based on information provided by the applicant in the application EFSA-GMO-NL-2019-159, and relevant peer-reviewed scientific literature. Maize DP202216 has the potential to enhanced grain yield, and provides tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium herbicides. Authorisation process for genetically modified organisms Through the EEA Agreement, the EU Directive 2001/18/EC on deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms is implemented in Norwegian law. Norway is therefore affiliated with the GMO authorisation process in the EU. In the EU, both GMOs and derived products are regulated by the Directive and Regulation 1829/2003/EC. The Regulation concerns genetically modified food and feed and is currently not a part of the EEA Agreement. In preparation for a legal implementation of the Regulation in Norwegian law, Norway follows the EU proceedings for GMO applications. When a company seeks approval of a genetically modified organism, the application is submitted to the national competent authority of an EU Member State, which forwards the application to EFSA. EFSA then submits the application for a public hearing across all EEA countries. VKM conducts its own review of the application and sends its comments to EFSA. EFSA then completes their scientific opinion based on information from the applicant, comments from EEA member countries and independent literature. The scientific opinion is then issued to the European Commission. VKM submitted their comments on application EFSA-GMO-NL-2019-159 to EFSA before the deadline January 3, 2020.

Environmental control of growth and flowering is generally well understood in raspberries, but a complete understanding of the processes is missing in blackberries. To get a better understanding of growth and flowering in blackberries, five cultivars, ‘Loch Ness’, ‘Loch Tay’, ‘Natchez’, ‘Ouachita’, and ‘Sweet Royalla’, were studied in the phytotron at 16°C and 12, 13, 14 and 15h photoperiod, and under natural temperature and daylength conditions at Apelsvoll, Norway (60.7° N). The results demonstrate that origin and genetic background of cultivars play a crucial role in how they respond to environmental signals. ‘Natchez’ had a critical photoperiod of 14h for cessation of growth at 16°C, while ‘Loch Ness’ continued to grow independently of photoperiod treatment. Photoperiod in the 12-15h range was not critical for flower bud initiation in ‘Natchez’ and ‘Loch Ness’. All five cultivars initiated flower buds before cessation of growth under out-door conditions. In both experiments, the cultivars that reached growth cessation first, also had the most advanced flower buds, except for ‘Ouachita’. Flower bud initiation in ‘Loch Ness’ and ‘Natchez’ began in the mid-section of the cane and continued in both basipetal and acropetal directions. Three ‘Loch Ness’ plants from each photoperiod treatment were forced in the greenhouse after sufficient chilling to examine the flowering performance of the buds that were initiated before growth cessation. Plants at 15h photoperiod, had the highest percentage of flowering nodes, most flowers per plant and fewest days to anthesis at forcing, but all plants from all treatments developed flowers. The position of the flowering nodes along the cane corresponded to the position of the initiated flower buds dissected in ‘Loch Ness’ prior to chilling. The results suggest that temperature, rather than photoperiod, may be the main factor affecting both growth cessation and flower bud initiation in blackberries.
