Electronic Identification Devices (EDM2165)

Electronic Identification Devices

EDM number 2165 in 2007-08, proposed by Roger Williams on 06/10/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Agriculture.

That this House recognises the economic and financial difficulties the sheep industry in the UK is facing; considers that sheep farming is a very important part of the social, environmental and economic fabric of rural areas of the UK; further notes that the European Commission's proposals for the introduction of electronic identification devices for sheep in the UK are untimely; and further notes that the technology required for their successful operation is not fully developed, the equipment is costly and above all there remain insurmountable practical animal husbandry barriers to their successful introduction and operation in the UK and other EU member states.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
