Recital 7
(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, saving labour costs but at the same time increasing equipment costs. If the electronic identification is faulty, the failure of the technology must not result in penalty payments being imposed on farmers.

Recital 16
(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. It is also desirable that the electronic identification systems in the Member States should be compatible.

Recital 17
(17) Member States have very different husbandry systems, farming practices and sector organisations. Member States should therefore be allowed to make EID compulsory on their territory only when they deem it appropriate, after considering all those factors in cooperation with farmers, particularly the possible impact on relatively small farmers. Distortions of competition within the internal market should be avoided at all costs.
