(16) Making EID mandatory throughout the Union may have economically adverse effects on certain operators. It is therefore appropriate that a voluntary regime for the introduction of EID is established. Under such a regime, EID would be chosen by keepers that are likely to have immediate economic benefits.

(19a) So far, there is no specific legislation on cloning. However, opinion polls show that this issue is of great interest for the European public. It is therefore appropriate to ensure that beef derived from cloned animals or their descendants is labelled as such. This provision should apply transitionally, until specific legislation is introduced prohibiting the placing on the market of food from cloned animals and their descendants.

(19b) The labelling of beef has been well- regulated for years, and can serve as a model for meat labelling in general. However, there is a gap in ensuring full transparency for consumers when it comes to the labelling of beef derived from animals which have been fed with genetically modified organisms. As there is a clear public demand, it is appropriate to introduce mandatory labelling requirements for beef from animals which have been fed with genetically modified organisms, with a view to ensuring such labelling for all animal products at a later stage.
