Electronic Identification Device - sheep

I have blogged in the past about the campaign that Jill Evans MEP is running against EID in sheep and my support for that campaign. Well done our MP, he has also joined the campaign and secured a debate on the matter in Westminster Hall on Wednesday 15th October . What is important is to seek a derogation for the UK, we cannot demand that our Ministers refuse to implement European Council Regulation 21/2004 since it would incur financial and other penalties, particular in relation to the Single Payment. Lets be careful what we ask for. I look forward to the debate and to being able to comment.
