PETITION FROM SCOTLAND'S SHEEP FARMERS
TO THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
CALLING FOR COMMON SENSE ON SHEEP ID
We, the undersigned, call upon the European Commission to:
1. Remove the current requirement to double tag low-risk sheep,
in particular home-bred ewes.
2. Scrap plans to individually identify sheep and their movements.
Any future sheep ID and movement recording system must be on a batch basis.
3. Review the cost-effectiveness of EID prior to considering implementation.
