<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"For the implementation of Regulation 1139/98(1), it is proposed that a threshold value for the detection of genetically modified DNA and protein is necessary. Article 2 of the Regulation moreover stipulates that a list of exempted products - those not subject to the additional specific labelling requirements - is to be drawn up.  1.Has the Commission succeeded in fixing the above threshold value in the interim? If so, on what is it based? If not, why has the Commission still not been able to arrive at a threshold value and how much longer will it take for a threshold value to be specified?  2.Will the Commission also fix a ceiling for levels of contamination by GMO-material where GMO-free labels are used? If so, will the ceiling coincide with the aforesaid threshold value for compulsory labelling of foodstuffs containing genetically manipulated crops?  3.Can the Commission state whether the aforesaid list of exempted products already exists? If not, when can such a list be expected and what arrangements will then be made to monitor for compliance with the Regulation?    (1)OJ L 159, 3.6.1998, p. 4."
