(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.

(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.

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.

(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.
