"Madam President, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to the rapporteur. It goes without saying that we favour simplification. We want red tape to be cut, and we want it to take up less time and effort. As a second point, we do not want to destroy the working electronic origin identification systems in the Member States. For that reason, then, and this is my third point, we need to acknowledge that the state of implementation varies widely between the Member States. This quite rightly leads us to the political compromise of, firstly, not banning the electronic identification of cattle and, secondly, developing it further on a voluntary basis.
Fourthly, I assume that the industry will voluntarily introduce a system of origin identification for bovine animals. For that reason, too, the compromise, which is based on voluntary labelling, is the right way to go.
As a fifth point, we will put this regulation forward again in the foreseeable future, and not in ten years’ time. There is, you see, one thing that we need to keep in mind, and that is that we farmers have been scarred by the problems with the introduction of the electronic labelling of sheep. We do not want to repeat the same mistakes with cattle."@en1
