Call to help farmers
Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), July 19, 2008
AN MP has urged the EU to help West Yorkshire's sheep farmers with the cost of tagging their sheep.
The call by Tim Farron comes after the European Parliament adopted a report urging the European Commission to rethink plans for tagging to be compulsory by December 31 next year.
The Westmorland and Lonsdale Lib-Dem said: "Electronic identification for sheep will be expensive and highly ineffective, especially in the uplands.
"It's unfair to expect British farmers to have to cough up the cash to implement it.
"But I'm encouraged the European Parliament have asked the EC to give our farmers cash to alleviate the costs."
