"Madam President, I want to point out that although the electronic identification of cattle may represent an economic burden for small businesses, the importance of this process from a food security perspective must not be ignored. As a result, I believe that, regardless of whether EID remains voluntary or becomes compulsory, it should be compulsory for Member States to make it easier for small farmers to incorporate this system and to offer the financial support required, whether that be via State aid or the existing rural development programme.
I believe that, if technological progress allows a greater control of animals’ state of health, facilitating the improvement of databases and increasing the ability to respond in the event of a disease outbreak, we have the responsibility to do everything possible to ensure that Member States adapt current legislation to the new existing technology.
Let us not forget that the use of these technologies will enable the improved management of direct payments to farmers, granted per animal, through better control and there being a reduced risk of payment errors. Moreover, the quantity and transparency of information granted to consumers can be much improved, provided the voluntary labelling of beef and veal is maintained to reduce the risk of fake and counterfeit products on the market."@en1
