Electronic identification of bovine animals (debate)
Amendments (5)
Amendment 13 #
(7) Electronic identification systems based on radio frequency identification have considerably improved in the last ten years. That technology allows a faster and more accurate reading of individual animal identity codes directly into data processing systems resulting on a reduction of time needed to trace potential infected animals or infected food, saving labour costs but at the same time increasing equipment costs. However, since the electronic systems may produce errors, the failure of technology should not lead to penalties for farmers.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) Member States have very different husbandry systems, farming practices and sector organisations. Member States should therefore be allowed to make EID compulsory on their territory only after consulting farmers, when they deem it appropriate, after considering all those factors including any negative impact on small farmers. Member States should be allowed to create special regimes for small farmers. Any distortion of competition within the single market should be avoided.
