lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I would just like to clarify that Mr Nicholson, the rapporteur of the opinion in the AGRI Committee, has been delayed by travel problems. He will be here with us imminently, so I would like to thank you and your services for allowing me to speak now, but I am delivering the speech I was going to make later on in the process. I want to make a contribution to this debate because of my recent experience with EID on sheep, and I am going to confine my remarks to how that system works technically. This system has been imposed on farmers in my constituency, despite strong opposition, and has now been around long enough for us to know that it does not work efficiently. That is not to say that some farmers do not find it useful. They do – particularly for internal flock management – but it is not sufficiently reliable to be used as a primary system for stock movements. The unreliability of the technology has been acknowledged by the Commission through their granting of more time, for example, to the UK to bed the system in. Why would we want to embark on an extension of this system to bovines before we get these things sorted? And why would we want to extend it at all – and I mean here specifically on a mandatory basis – unless we are clear that there are benefits to be gained? I frequently meet farmers who are terrified by the prospect of failing to achieve cross-compliance and thereby suffering the punitive withdrawal of their single farm payments. Our job is to make regulations that help both farmers and the authorities to work smarter. Let us take the opportunity to do that when we vote on this report."@en1
