lpv:spoken text	"Rules brought in during 2010 require all sheep farmers to electronically tag their sheep. As a consequence, they face financial penalties if they do not achieve 100% accuracy of recording. Yet, the technology at their disposal is not yet 100% accurate. This situation is completely unacceptable. The Commission now wishes to extend electronic identification to bovine animals. However, it seems to have learned from the negative experience of sheep farmers, and has chosen to introduce bovine identification on a voluntary basis. This is a far more pragmatic approach, allowing all stakeholders to benefit, and as such I can support this measure. Given the shambles surrounding the electronic identification of sheep, and the considerable financial impact on farmers, it is imperative that, whilst adhering to the agreed EU technical standards, Member States have control over its introduction to bovine animals."@en1
