Bununla birlikte, test edilen bir numunenin yetkili etkinlikler için AB sınırı olan % 0,9'u aşan miktarda NK603 içerdiğini belirtmek gerekir. Ayrıca, küçük miktarlarda olsa da MON810, MON863, 59122, TC1507 ve GA21 mevcut olabilir. Bu durumun tahmin edilebilir nedenlerinden biri, GDO'lu mısır türlerinin gerilme deneyi GDO'suz mısır tarlalarında yapılması olabilir. Başka bir neden, mahsul kayıplarını telafi According to available statistics, most of the batches of corn tested are either non-GMO or contained GM im- purity in amount less than limit of quantification (LOQ < 0.1%). However, it is worth to note that one sample tested contain NK603 in the amount exceeding EU limit of 0.9% for authorized events. Also, MON810, MON863, 59122, TC1507 and GA21 can be present although in minor quantities. One of the presumable causes of such situation could be strain testing of GM-corn varieties on the fields with Non-GM Corn. Another cause could be the sowing of GM seeds in the breached sections of the fields (where the plants did not grow), to compensate crop losses. Please see below Cotecna laboratory statistics for the samples of Corn of 2019 crop for various locations and for vessels composites. Taking into consideration the statistics in Table-1 and Table-2 is worth mentioning that for vessel`s composites, even though GMO positive results were noted on some parcels, the content of GMO was <LOQ 0.1% on these. According to information from Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, within the framework of studies to control the spread of transgenic plants, one hundred of the most used maize breeding lines was monitored in the Dnipropetrovsk region for the presence of spontaneously recorded 16 transformation- al cases registered in the European Union. As a result, among the analyzed breeding lines twenty transforma- tion events with ID Bt176 were found. The analysis of 100 samples of maize from the Kiev retail network re- vealed two cases of event MON 810. In 100 samples from Cherkasy region three cases of GA21 (2011) trans- Table-1.
