lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this document because we need to ensure that legislation on the identification and traceability of bovine animals is clear and enforceable and thus to optimise food safety. Food safety is one of the main concerns of European citizens. The electronic identification (EID) of bovine animals makes it possible to obtain more reliable data, thus strengthening the traceability system and enhancing food safety. It also makes it possible to speed up the registration of bovine animals, mechanise some tasks and boost the effectiveness of herd management. The development of this emerging technology should therefore also be promoted. Current legislation should be adapted, particularly in order to recognise EID as an official method of identifying bovine animals. It is also essential to harmonise technical standards in order to prevent this identification method from developing in a chaotic manner and to ensure interoperability between the national systems. However, because the situations on cattle holdings in Europe vary widely, EID should remain optional for farmers unless the Member State in question opts to make it compulsory on its territory. Farmers are encouraged to choose this technology rather than being forced to do so."@en1
