((1)) Foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize;
((2)) Feed containing, consisting of, or produced from MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize;
((3)) Products other than food and feed containing or consisting of MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6 maize for the same uses as any other maize with the exception of cultivation.

The genetically modified maize MON-ØØ863-5xMON-ØØ81Ø-6xMON-ØØ6Ø3-6, as described in the application, is produced by crosses between maize containing MON-ØØ863-5, MON-ØØ81Ø-6 and MON-ØØ6Ø3-6 events and expresses the CryBb1 protein which confers protection against certain coleopteran insect pests (Diabrotica spp.), the Cry 1 Ab protein which confers protection against certain lepidopteran insect pests (Ostrinia nubilalis, Sesammia spp.) and the CP4 EPSPS protein which confers tolerance to herbicide glyphosate. An nptII gene, conferring kanamycin resistance, was used as a selectable marker in the genetic modification process.
