lpv:translated text	"Firstly, I would like to thank the rapporteur for her excellent work. The identification system is a matter of serious concern for European farmers. The Commission is well aware that there were significant problems, which caused terrible difficulties for farmers, with the mandatory system for electronic identification (EID) of sheep. Many farmers have contacted me because of illness, strain, injury or infection among their sheep as a result of the identification technology. Faulty technology and a lack of realism and flexibility on the part of the authorities have led to fines being imposed on farmers and a pointless increase in bureaucracy. The electronic identification of animals ought to be an optional scheme and one run by the Member States. Clearly, there is no advantage in having a compulsory scheme. In an optional scheme, small farmers – who would benefit little from the scheme – would not be obliged to implement electronic identification and would not have to shoulder unfair administrative and financial burdens. In an optional scheme, only those farmers who would derive immediate, significant benefit from the EID would implement it."@en1
