Sheep: Tagging
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what recent assessment he has made of progress in the implementation in the UK of measures for the electronic tagging of sheep.
- Answer
-
Electronic identification (EID) of sheep is an EU requirement, but the administration and implementation of it is an issue for devolved Administrations.In England, EID was implemented on 31 December 2009. It is too early for any implementation assessment to be made although our officials are in regular contact with the sheep industry and are reviewing issues with them as they arise.
