  3. EID – BOVINE State of play: 11th January 2012: EP COMENVI published a Draft Report on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 as regards electronic identification of bovine animals and deleting the provisions on voluntary beef labelling Rapporteur: Sophie Auconie.

  6. EID- Sheep and Goats Background Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 foresees the gradual introduction of individual traceability based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Following the Report from the Commission from 2007, EID for goats and sheep became compulsory. The following steps have been set: Electronic tagging for all animals born after 31st December 2009 (Member States with small populations of sheep and goats may make EID optional for animals not involved in intra-Community trade); Recording of individual animal codes during movements (individual tracking); From 1st January 2011 for all animals born after 31st December 2009; From 1st January 2012 for all animals.

  7. EID- Sheep and Goats UK Proposal: Deferring the date from which individual recording begins until 31 December 2016. EX: - in Great Britain, at Dec 2010 there were 13 million older breeding sheep that are not required to be electronically identified. - There will be a year on year decrease of non EID animals until 2016 when the majority of the non EID breeding animals will have been culled.

  8. EID- Sheep and Goats EU Commission: On 6th December 2011, SCoFCAHexperts approved a proposal to postpone until the end of 2014 the obligatory recording of the individual movement of the sheep born before 1 January 2010 when these animals are moved.
