European Union Cattle Accreditation Scheme

The European Union Cattle Accreditation Scheme (EUCAS) is a national animal production system that allows the full traceability of all cattle within the scheme through the use of the National Livestock Identification Scheme (NLIS). The NLIS links individual animal identification to a central database and all animal movements in the scheme are registered on that database. To further address European Union market requirements for beef, all cattle within the accreditation scheme must not have been treated with Hormonal Growth Promotants (HGPs) at any time in their lives.

The Committee’s key objectives regarding the EU Cattle Accreditation Scheme are to:

• Have input into the EUCAS review
• Ensure that the EU market is not jeopardized
