"In order to ensure the best possible food security, all cattle are monitored from birth until slaughter, and must carry ear tags with a reference number. That is what we refer to as the traceability of meat. Given the progress achieved through the technique of electronic identification, my report proposes progressive and harmonised development of this technology on a voluntary basis; thus, only for cattle farmers who want it. In five years, we will take stock of this development. We will see, then, if it is a good idea to make electronic identification obligatory, replacing conventional identification through ear tags. As regards the other part of this report – the labelling of beef – my report recommends simplifying the procedure to allow the use of optional mentions on meat packets. For example, this affects information relating to the breed of the animal or the rearing method. Too often, the European Union is perceived as restrictive. On this subject of labelling beef, the European Parliament recommends making the lives of farmers and workers in the cattle sector easier. I will now begin the negotiations with the European ministers."@en1
