Feed produced from maize line 1507 has been placed on the market before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and notified in accordance with Article 20(1)(b) of that Regulation. On 12 April 2007 Pioneer Overseas Corporation on behalf of Pioneer Hi-bred International and Dow AgroS- ciences on behalf of Mycogen Seeds jointly submitted to the Commission an application, in accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for renewal of the authorisation for continued marketing of existing feed produced from maize line 1507. On 11 June 2009, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA’) gave a favourable opinion in accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and concluded that the new information provided in the application and the review of the scientific literature that has been published since the previous scientific () O] L 268, 18.10.2003, p. 1. () O] L 70, 9.3.2006, p. 82. opinions of the EFSA GMO Panel on maize line 1507 (?) do not require changes of the previous scientific opinions on maize line 1507. Furthermore, EFSA reiterated the previous conclusions that 1507 maize is unlikely to have an adverse effect on human and animal health or the environment in the context of its proposed uses. This includes the use of feed produced from maize line 1507 (*. (5)  In its opinion, EFSA considered all the specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities as provided for by Article 18(4) of that Regulation. (6) By letter of 21 January 2010, the applicant confirmed that he is aware of the fact that renewing the authori- sation of existing feed produced from maize line 1507 by extending the scope of Decision 2006/197/EC so as to include such product, would imply this category of products to be subject to the legal provisions of that Decision. (7)  On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 appear to be necessary for feed produced from maize line 1507. (8)  The EFSA opinion does not justify the imposition of specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market andfor specific conditions or restrictions for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements for the use of the feed, as provided for in point () of Article 18(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
