| Summary of the safety assessment (food safety): |
Whereas the maize variety (Zea mays) event TC1507 x MON810 x MIR162 belongs to the species well characterized and with a solid safety record for human consumption;
Whereas the Cry1F, Cry1Ab, Vip3Aa and PAT proteins which confer insect resistance and tolerance to the herbicides glufosinate ammonium and glyphosate are expressed in several events of different agricultural crops already submitted to risk assessment and approved for commercial use in several countries ;
Considering that the parents, event TC1507, event MON810 and event MIR162, have already undergone the analysis of the risk assessment by CTNBio and obtained a favorable opinion for their commercial release;
Considering that the genetically modified corn containing four combined events, TC1507 x MON810 x MIR162 x NK603, including the three events of the present application, has already been analyzed by CTNBio Human / Animal and Plant / Environmental Sectors and obtained a favorable decision;
Considering that the applicant has submitted a request for compliance with the provisions of Article 4-A of Normative Resolution 5/2008 and that the said article states that "The favorable decision to commercially release a Genetically Modified Organism - GMO containing more than one event, combined Through classical breeding, whose individual events have been previously approved for commercial release by CTNBio, will apply to the possible combinations of individual events as requested by the applicant ";
For the planting of genetically modified corn, it is also necessary to observe the Normative Resolution CTNBio No. 4/2007, which deals with the minimum distances between commercial crops of genetically modified and non-genetically modified maize. |

Country introduction: Brazil had the first biosafety law approved in 1995. After the identification of the need to improve the biosafety system of Brazilian genetically modified organisms, a new law was published. The Law 11.105 / 05 establishes a technical committee dedicated to the analysis of the safety aspects of genetically modified organisms and a council of ministers that is dedicated to the analysis of the socioeconomic aspects of the commercial release of genetically modified organisms. In this context, Brazil already has several commercial products that involve genetically modified organisms (plants, human and veterinary vaccines, microorganisms for fuel production) and products derived from new genetic modification techniques.

| Summary of the safety assessment (food safety): |
Within the scope of Art. 14 of Law 11,105/05, CTNBio considers that the request for authorization for the interruption, through substitution, of the corn monitoring plan TC1507 x MON810 x MIR162 (process 01200.005952/2013-59) by the corn monitoring plan MIR162 x TC1507 x MON810 x NK603 (process 01200.000778/2013-58) meets the relevant standards and legislation that aim to guarantee the biosafety of the environment, agriculture, human and animal health. Thus, provided the conditions described in the process and in this technical opinion are met, this activity is not potentially causing significant degradation of the environment or human health. |

Country introduction: Safety assessments of GM foods are mandatory under the Food Sanitation Law in Japan. The Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) legally imposes safety assessments of GM foods so that those that have not undergone safety assessments would not be distributed in the country. MHLW receives application and requests the Food Safety COmmission of Japan (FSCJ) to evaluate the safety of GM foods in terms of human health. Safety assessments are carried out by FSCJ.

Country introduction: México ha buscado garantizar la inocuidad de los productos biotecnológicos para el uso y consumo de su población.
Desde 1984 el artículo 282 bis 1 de la Ley General de Salud, contempló que la Secretaría de Salud debería regular aquellos productos biotecnológicos, o sus derivados, destinados al uso o consumo humano.
En un inicio, con fundamento en este artículo, la Secretaria de Salud evaluó la inocuidad alimentaria de productos biotecnológicos, para su comercialización con fines de uso o consumo humano. A partir de 2005, con la entrada en vigor de la Ley de Bioseguridad de Organismos Genéticamente Modificados (LBOGM), se realizó la adecuación de la regulación para dar lugar a la Autorización que es el acto administrativo mediante el cual la Secretaría de Salud, a través de la Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (COFEPRIS), autoriza Organismos Genéticamente Modificados (OGMs), a efecto de que se pueda realizar su comercialización, así como su utilización con finalidades de Salud Pública o de Biorremediación.
Las facultades que corresponden a la Secretaría de Salud se estipulan en el artículo 16 de la LBOGM y lo relativo a la Autorizaciones se describe en los artículos 91 al 98 de dicha Ley.
Quienes pretendan obtener una Autorización para Comercialización e Importación de OGMs deben presentar ante COFEPRIS, una solicitud por escrito acompañada de la información a que se refiere los artículos 23 al 32 del Reglamento de la Ley de Bioseguridad de OGMs.

Mexico has sought to guarantee the safety of biotechnological products the use and consumption of its population. Since 1984, article 282 bis 1 from the General Law of Health, considered that the Secretary of Health should regulate those biotechnological products, or their derivatives, intended for food and feed use. Initially, the Secretary of Health evaluated the food safety of biotechnological products, based on this article, for commercialization with purposes of food, feed and processing. Subsequently in 2005, with the entry into force of the Law on Biosafety of Genetically Modified Organisms (LBOGM), the regulation was adapted to give rise to the Authorization, which is the administrative act through which the Secretary of Health, by means of the Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS), authorizes Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), to their commercialization, as well as their use for purposes of public health or bioremediation.
The faculties that correspond to the Secretary of Health are stipulated in Article 16 of the LBOGM and what is related to the Authorizations is described in Articles 91 to 98 of this Law. Those who seek to obtain an Authorization for GMOs merchandising and importation, must present to COFEPRIS, a written request accompanied by the information referred into articles 23 to 32 of the Regulation of the Law on Biosafety of Genetically Modified Organisms.
