Recital 53
Recital 53
(53) Statutory management requirements need to be fully implemented by Member States in order to become operational at farm level and ensure the necessary equal treatment between farmers. The Commission should issue guidelines on the interpretation of the rules on animal identification and registration for cross compliance purposes. Such guidelines should reflect, particularly in the case of electronic systems, that 100% accuracy is often not possible and therefore some tolerance should be built into guidelines. Guidelines should, where appropriate, such as in the case with electronic systems, provide for flexibility at farm level in order to strike the necessary balance between safeguarding the spirit of the legislation and applying proportionate administrative penalties only in the case of non-compliance directly and unequivocally attributable to the beneficiaries, in particular in respect of repeated failure of the technology in use.
