Sign our petition and help save our sheep industry from unnecessary regulation

Sign our petition and help save our sheep industry from unnecessary regulation

EC Council Regulation 21/2004 introduces electronic identification (EID) of sheep and individual recording of sheep and goats from 31 December 2009.

The CLA does not believe that there is any justification for the introduction of compulsory EID because there is no benefit to the consumer or the industry and we have been lobbying Defra to that effect.

Whilst Defra has secured changes to the annexes of the Regulation that reduce the movement recording burdens, the CLA still believes that this legislation will only add cost with no improvement in the traceability of livestock intended for the human food chain, and is collecting signatures to be delivered to Government later this year.

By signing our petition you can help us protect our sheep industry, and those who depend upon it.


We, the undersigned, call upon the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to resist the decision to implement sheep EID, as it would add disproportionate and significant practical and financial burdens to the industry in this country, threatening the very future of the industry while showing no benefit for the producer or consumer.
