"It is essential bovine EID is introduced on a voluntary basis and is not, as some Members of this Parliament urge, subject to a report in five years to consider compulsory EID. The UK cattle ID system works perfectly well, so the choice to upgrade should be an individual decision based upon working preferences. It should be made without fear of penalty under cross compliance if equipment is subject to error. Sheep tagging brought a host of problems that persecuted British farmers whose equipment was especially vulnerable to the elements. Cattle in the UK are often out to grass for at least six months, so tag loss is inevitable. There is a crisis in the dairy industry, while the beef market is only just seeing a small recovery after years of being in the red. Both are subject to pressures from rising feed costs and cheaper foreign imports and would suffer from any punitive measures levied by the Commission."@en1
