Recital 21 b (new)
(21b) Given that organic farming needs to be able to rely on genetically high-quality animals for breeding and these animals must be reared in accordance with organic farming rules, it would be desirable to maintain the possibility of using non-organic breeding animals under certain conditions in order to offset a lack of availability or ensure a sufficient genetic base, particularly in the case of rarer species and breeds.

Article 7 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Paragraph 1(a) notwithstanding, a holding may be split into units that are clearly and effectively separated or aquaculture production units or sites which are not all managed under organic production, provided that: (i) in the case of animals, the separation concerns different species; (ii) in the case of plants, the separation concerns different, easily distinguishable varieties. In the case of aquaculture, the separate units or sites may contain the same species. In the case of perennial crops that have to be cultivated over a period of at least three years, the separation may concern varieties not easily distinguishable provided that they are being produced under a conversion plan and a specific system of control. In the case of training and research centres, seed, vegetative propagating material and seedling producers, aquaculture hatcheries, seaweed nurseries and producers of animal seed, the restrictions with regard to animal species and plant varieties may not apply.
