Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) However, it must be recognised from experience gained with implementation of mandatory electronic identification in small ruminants that the current technology available to farmers is not able to achieve 100% accuracy. Farmers therefore should not be penalised for unintentional non-compliance with cross- compliance requirements when these result from failures of the technology in tag readability which are beyond farmers' direct control.

Article 4 — paragraph 1 — subparagraph 3
All means of identification applied to one animal shall bear the same unique identification code, which makes it possible to identify the animal individually together with the holding on which it was born. By way of derogation, in cases where it is not possible for the two individual means of identification to bear the same unique identification code, the competent authority may, under its supervision, allow for the second means of identification to bear a different code provided that full traceability is ensured and the individual identification of the animal, including the holding on which it was born, is possible.
