Annual post-market environmental monitoring report on the cultivation of genetically modified maize MON 810 in 2016.

ABSTRACT: Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA assessed the annual post-market environmental monitoring (PMEM) report for the 2016 growing season of the Cry1Ab-expressing maize event MON 810 provided by Monsanto Europe S.A. Partial compliance with refuge requirements was reported in Spain, as observed in previous years. EFSA reiterates the need to achieve full compliance in areas of high maize MON 810 adoption to delay resistance evolution, and therefore advocates increasing the level of compliance in such areas. Resistance monitoring data do not indicate a decrease in susceptibility to the Cry1Ab protein in the field corn borer populations tested in the 2016 season. However, EFSA identified some methodological and reporting limitations pertaining to resistance monitoring that need
