Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

I will make a point off the top of my head, which is always a bad idea in here. Dealing with traceability in a highly regulated sector is difficult enough. Dealing with a rigid set of traceability requirements in a sector that is completely unregulated would be even more so. I have a dog myself and she is microchipped but I am sure there are many private citizens out there whose dogs are not. I am not saying that is acceptable, but there is an issue of complexity.
