"This regulation aims to pave the way for deleting the provisions on the voluntary beef labelling system. It sets out some general rules for framing and protecting consumers and public health, and which guarantee their trust using objective information that can be verified by the competent authorities and understood by consumers.
We did not vote for the amendments tabled because we think they weaken consumers’ information rights. We are in favour of recognising the differences in farming systems and practices and in sectoral organisations between the Member States, meaning that the latter should be able to decide whether or not to introduce electronic identification (EID) in their territory, including beef sector organisations in the discussion, and taking into account the potential impact on small farmers. We also have some concerns and doubts about the implications of the process of receiving direct aid. Nevertheless, we are pleased about the care taken that, where EID is faulty, the technological breakdown will not lead to farmers being financially penalised. The rapporteur acknowledges that ‘there are practical problems which continue to hinder the effective operation of EID, especially with regard to the accuracy of the technology’."@en1
