"I voted in favour of Parliament’s position on the negotiations with the Council because I think that it achieves a good balance between respect for producers and modernising the identification of bovine animals and meat labelling. We must, of course, ensure simple and practical traceability, as well as increased choice for consumers: that is why we must promote electronic identification of bovine animals, which will enable increased rationalisation of the identification process. We must not forget, however, that we are in a period of crisis: we must not force producers to make investments which are too costly, even if they give us the best health conditions in the world. It would be irresponsible to subject small producers to such unnecessary expense when they have already been put in a precarious position by the current economic situation. As regards meat labelling, it is important to combat excessively heavy administrative burdens. As well as being able to ensure that information is true and verifiable, producers must be able to provide details that can help consumers in their choices. It is natural that we should move towards uniform rules for beef and other meats."@en1
