Do MPs dream of electric sheep?
From Hansard: "Mr. Alan Reid: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans he has to introduce the electronic identification of sheep; and if he will make a statement.
Jane Kennedy: Council Regulation 21/2004 provides for the mandatory introduction of electronic identification of sheep from 31 December 2009. There is a serious risk of disallowance on our farm payments and potential EU infraction proceedings if we fail to comply with EU law. We will therefore introduce electronic identification in England from 31 December 2009"
Good idea - they all look the same to me.
