If such organisations do not comply with the terms of the memoranda of understanding, the Commission may suspend, partially or in full, the future use of their respective product codes, having considered the sufficient supply of the concerned type of products in the Member States including a transitional period and having consulted the Member State experts through the Competent Authorities on Substances of Human Origin Expert Group.]
