Where an operator considers or suspects that a product which he has produced,prepared, imported or that he has received from another operator, is not in compliancewith organic production rules, he shall initiate procedures either to withdraw from thisproduct any reference to the organic production method or to separate and identifythe product. He may only put it into processing or packaging or on the market afterelimination of that doubt, unless it is placed on the market without indication referringto the organic production method. In case of such doubt, the operator shall immediatelyinform the control body or authority. The control authority or control body mayrequire that the product cannot be placed on the market with indications referring tothe organic production method until it is satisfied, by the information received fromthe operator or from other sources, that the doubt has been eliminated.2. Where a control authority or control body has a substantiated suspicion that anoperator intends to place on the market a product not in compliance with the organicproduction rules but bearing a reference to the organic production method, this controlauthority or control body can require that the operator may provisionally not marketthe product with this reference for a time period to be set by that control authority orcontrol body. Before taking such a decision, the control authority or control body shallallow the operator to comment. This decision shall be supplemented by the obligationto withdraw from this product any reference to the organic production method if thecontrol authority or control body is sure that the product does not fulfill the requirementsof organic production.However, if the suspicion is not confirmed within the said time period, the decision referredto in the first subparagraph shall be cancelled not later than the expiry of thattime period. The operator shall cooperate fully with the control body or authority inresolving the suspicion.14
