Recital 78
(78) The Commission should consider the situation of the availability of organic plant reproductive material and animals for breeding purposes and present a report to this end to the European Parliament and the Council in 2021. In order to satisfy itself that organic plant reproductive material, feed, and animals raised for breeding purposes are available on the market in sufficient quantities, and before submitting any proposals for the phasing-out of exceptions, the Commission should carry out a study based on the collection or relevant data and on an analysis of the situation in the Member States. On the basis of that study, the Commission should by the end of 2018 present a report to the European Parliament and the Council identifying the reasons for the inadequate development of the market in and the shortage of organic plant reproductive material and feed and the poor local availability of breeds suited to organic husbandry and outlining a plan and possible measures to close these gaps, including support measures to stimulate the market in those products and maintain biodiversity.

1. Products in which the presence of products or substances that have not been authorised in accordance with Article 19 is detected beyond the levels established taking account in particular of Directive 2006/125/EC, shall not be marketed as organic. Whenever a competent authority or, where appropriate, a control authority or control body receives reliable information or detects the presence of products or substances for which no authorisation has been given under Article 19 for the purposes listed in Article 19, it shall begin an investigation immediately to determine the origin and the cause of the contamination in order to verify conformity with Article 7(1)(b). On the basis of the results of this investigation, the competent authority or, where appropriate, the control authority or control body shall ensure that the products involved are not marketed as organic, if their presence is due to deliberate use by the operator or an avoidable contamination in the production process. A contamination shall be considered as avoidable when the operator: - has failed to install or maintain appropriate, proportionate measures to identify and avoid the risk of biological products becoming contaminated by unauthorised products or substances; - has not regularly reviewed and adjusted such appropriate measures, while the risk for contamination has clearly been perceptible; - has failed to take appropriate measures following requests from the competent authorities or, where appropriate, the control authority or body to take measures to avoid contamination; - has not complied with the relevant provisions of this Regulation and has failed to take necessary steps in the production process to avoid contamination. Based on the results of the investigation referred to in paragraph 1, the competent authority or, where appropriate, the control authority or body shall identify the potential shortcomings or non- conformities responsible for the presence of unauthorised products or substances.
