It sounds decidedly like a 'fait accompli'. We too are fed up with all the endless regulations - and yet are now faced with supplying all information of sheep movements to a national data base, and it seems quite likely that with electronic tags we will also be required to give details of all births/ deaths to the data base within 7 days.
