Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15
(15) Different types of electronic identifiers, such as ruminal boluses, electronic ear tags, and injectable transponders may be used to individually identify animals in addition to the conventional ear tags provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000. It is therefore appropriate to broaden the scope of the means of identification provided for in that Regulation in order to enable the use of electronic identification.

Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
(16) Making EID mandatory throughout the Union may have economically adverse effects on certain operatorwould guarantee exemplary food safety levels for EU citizens. It is therefore appropriate that a voluntary regimetransition period for the introduction of EID is established in order to use up the stock of traditional ear tags. Under such a regime, EID would quickly be chosen by keepers that are likely to have immediate economic benefits.

Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
(19) Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 provides that the competent authority is to issue a passport for each animal which has to be identified in accordance with that Regulation. This causes a considerable administrative burden for the Member States. The computerised databases established by Member States sufficiently ensure traceability of domestic movements of bovine animals. Passports should therefore be issued only for animals intended for intra-Union trade. Once the data exchange between national computerised databases is operational, the requirement of issuing such passports should no longer apply for animals intended for intra-Union trade. In all cases, the current passport, whether the current paper version or the future electronic version, should include the gene mapping of the sample used for reference, to be carried out when the EID is registered or introduced.

Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 20
(20) Section II of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 lays down rules for a voluntary beef labelling system which provide for the approval of certain labelling specifications by the competent authority of the Member State. The administrative burden and the costs incurred by Member States and economic operators in applying this system are not proportionate to the benefits of the system. That Section should therefore be deleted.

The maximum period referred to in point (b) shall not exceed 20 days from the date of arrival of the animals on the holding of destination. In any event, the means of identification shall be applied to the animals before they leave the holding of destination. However, the first subparagraph shall not apply to animals destined directly for a slaughterhouse situated in the territory of the Member State that has introduced national provisions to make compulsory the use of an electronic identifier, provided that the animals are slaughtered within 20 days following those veterinary checks.deleted
