(6) The use of electronic identification systems would potentially streamline traceability processes through automated and more accurate reading and recording into the holding register. It would enable also automated reporting of animal movements into the computerised data base and thus improve speed, reliability and accuracy of the system, even though, following the publication of Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 in 2003, there is still no automated reporting of movements in the case of ovine and caprine animals.

(7) Electronic identification systems based on radio frequency identification have considerably improved in the last ten years, even though ISO standards still need to be applied, and they need to be tested for bovines. That technology allows a faster and more accurate reading of individual animal identity codes directly into data processing systems resulting on a reduction of time needed to trace potential infected animals or infected food, saving labour costs but at the same time increasing equipment costs.

Recital 10
(10) A Report from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on the possibility of introduction of electronic identification for bovine animals concludes that it has been demonstrated that radio frequency identification has been developed to the extent that it can be applied in practice. The report also concludes that it is highly desirable to switch to electronic identification of bovine animals within the Union since among other benefits, it will contribute to reduce the administrative burden, in spite of the extremely high costs involved.
