Article 35 – paragraph 1
Article 35 – paragraph 1
1. By 31 December 20218, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the availability of organic plant reproductive material and animals for breeding purposes. , feed, leguminous crops, animals for breeding purposes, and aquaculture juveniles on the Union market, identifying potential gaps and the reasons for those gaps and outlining a plan and possible measures for closing those gaps, including support measures designed to stimulate the market. That report shall be based on a study including data collection and analysis in Member States. 2. In relation to organic plant reproductive material, the study referred to in paragraph 1 shall also evaluate, for each relevant sub-market, the diversity of available material and the operators providing them, the actual demand for such material and the demand forecast for the next five years. For the purposes of the study, a sub- market shall mean the tuple of a crop (defined as a botanical species or subspecies, e.g. Brassica oleracea) and a region, the region in question not being larger than a Member State. A Member State shall be divided into as many regions as may be necessary in terms of different growing conditions based on climate, soil types, altitude or land use characteristics resulting in demand for plant reproductive material that differs from one region to another, with a view to comparing the regional markets in a fair and non-discriminatory manner. Where the study establishes that, for some sub-markets, the supply-demand ratio is below 80%, the Commission shall set out in its report a development plan which shall include appropriate and effective measures aimed at providing support to operators who have committed to developing organic plant reproductive material. Such measures may include support for necessary investment by private operators in production facilities, quality control measures, distribution systems and pre-marketing research and development, marketing support through websites run by the Commission and Member States, or associations of organic farmers or organic control bodies, participatory capital for small and medium-sized enterprises dedicated to offering organic plant reproductive material, and project grants for the breeding of new varieties suitable for organic agriculture.

Article 40 – paragraph 1
Article 40 – paragraph 1
In order to ensure a smooth transition between the rules on organic origin of plant reproductive material provided for in Article 12(1)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and on animals for breeding purposes provided for in Article 14(1)(a)(ii) of that Regulation and on young stock of aquaculture animals provided for in Article 15(1)(a)(ii) of that Regulation and the exception to production rules that the Commission adopted pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, and the new production rules for plants and plant products and livestock and seaweed and aquaculture animals provided for in Articles 10(1) and 11(1), respectively, of this Regulation, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 36 providing for exceptions where granting exceptions is deemed necessary in order to ensure access to plant reproductive material and live animals for breeding purposes and young stock of aquaculture animals, that may be used in organic production. The delegated acts adopted under this Article shall be reviewed or cease to apply on 31 December 2021.

Annex II – part I – point 1.4.1
1.4.1. For the production of plants and plant products only organically produced plant reproductive material shall be used. To this end, the plant intended for plant reproductive material production and, where relevant, the mother plant shall have been produced in accordance with this Regulation for at least one generation, or, in the case of perennial crops, for at least one generation during two growing seasontwo growing seasons. Plant reproductive material coming from a production unit during the second year of conversion may be used for the production of organic plants and organic plant products.
