Article 11
1. The requester referred to in Articles 6 and 7 may submit a request to the Member State competent authority or to the Authority, as appropriate, to treat certain parts of the information submitted under this Title as confidential, accompanied by verifiable justification, in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 6. 2. The competent authority or the Authority, as appropriate, shall assess the confidentiality request referred to in paragraph 1. 3. The competent authority or the Authority, as appropriate, may grant confidential treatment only with respect to the following items of information, upon verifiable justification, where the disclosure of such information is demonstrated by the requester to potentially harm its interests to a significant degree: (a) items of information referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) of Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002; (b) DNA sequence information; and (c) breeding patterns and strategies. 4. The competent authority or the Authority, as appropriate, shall, after consultation with the requester, decide which information is to be treated as confidential and shall inform the requester of its decision. 5. Member States, the Commission and the Authority shall take the necessary measures to ensure that confidential information notified or exchanged under this Chapter is not made public. 6.

Amendment 1039 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex I
Criteria of equivalence of NGT plants to conventional plants A NGT plant is considered equivalent to conventional plants when it differs from the recipient/parental plant by no more than 20 genetic modifications of the types referred to in points 1 to 5, in any DNA sequence sharing sequence similarity with the targeted site that can be predicted by bioinformatic tools. (1) substitution or insertion of no more than 20 nucleotides; (2) deletion of any number of nucleotides; (3) on the condition that the genetic modification does not interrupt an endogenous gene: (a) targeted insertion of a contiguous DNA sequence existing in the breeder’s gene pool; (b) targeted substitution of an endogenous DNA sequence with a contiguous DNA sequence existing in the breeder’s gene pool; (4) targeted inversion of a sequence of any number of nucleotides; (5) any other targeted modification of any size, on the condition that the resulting DNA sequences already occur (possibly with modifications as accepted under points (1) and/or (2)) in a species from the breeders’ gene pool.deleted
