1.Where the results of analytical tests are below the reference points for action, the competent authority shall carry out the investigations provided for by Directive 96/23/EC to determine whether there has been illegal administration of a prohibited or non-authorised pharmacologically active substance and, where relevant, shall apply the penalty provided for.
2.Where the results of those investigations or analytical tests on products of the same origin show a recurrent pattern indicating a potential problem, the competent authority shall retain a record of the findings and inform the Commission and the other Member States in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health referred to in Article 26.
