(6) The use of electronic identification systems would potentially streamline traceability processes through automated and more accurate reading and recording into the holding register. It would enable also automated reporting of animal movements into the computerised data base and thus improve speed, reliability and accuracy of the system. It would improve the management of direct payments paid to farmers per animal head through better controls and reduced risk of payment errors.

(7) Electronic identification systems based on radio frequency identification have considerably improved in the last ten years. That technology allows a faster and more accurate reading of individual animal identity codes directly into data processing systems resulting on a reduction of time needed to trace potential infected animals or infected food, leading to improved data bases and an increased capacity to react promptly in the event of disease outbreaks, saving labour costs but at the same time increasing equipment costs.

(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 benefitMember States provide the necessary financial means for farmers to use electronic identification, either through State aid or rural development programmes.
