answer text <p>Since April 2016 every dog in Great Britain is required to be microchipped with the keeper’s details. Over 90% of dog owners are compliant with the microchipping requirement which allows dogs to be traced back to their keeper and if the dog strays allows dog and keeper to be reunited quickly. There are no plans to reintroduce the dog licence in England.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government has always been clear that it would prefer animals to be slaughtered close to the point of production. Our manifesto made it clear that we would take early steps to control the export of live farm animals for slaughter once we leave the EU. We have recently launched a call for evidence on the subject.</p> more like this

Member for Newton Abbott, Anne Marie Morris, to PQ UIN 31252 on 21 March 2016.</p><p> </p><p>As from financial year 2010/11 Defra has accrued £336m for disallowance following the conclusion of EU audits, broken down by financial year as shown in the table below. This relates to a number of different Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) Schemes over a number of historical scheme years as disallowance is paid in arrears. These are the only fines that have been imposed on Defra by the EU since 2010.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="5"><p>Disallowance (*) £m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>10/11</p></td><td><p>11/12</p></td><td><p>12/13</p></td><td><p>13/14</p></td><td><p>14/15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>181</p></td><td><p>42</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>81</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>(*) Reflects the sums the European Commission have ruled cannot be reimbursed (i.e. the amounts they have “disallowed”).</p><p> </p><p>Disallowance is applied when we are considered to not have adequate controls in place to protect CAP expenditure, for example, where our inspection processes or the quality of our mapping have been deemed to be insufficient.</p><p> </p><p>We are making a significant investment to improve the quality and currency of our mapping data, which is historically our biggest disallowance risk.</p><p> </p><p>Other key sources of historic disallowance include failures to adequately control cross compliance, the Fruit and Vegetable Producer Organisation scheme and some of the Rural Development schemes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Despite UK opposition, asulam was withdrawn from the market at the end of 2012 following an EU review. Asulam is a valuable resource for land managers needing to control bracken. Therefore, in line with EU rules, limited and controlled use has been allowed to continue in the UK where alternative control measures would not be effective.</p><p>A new application for EU approval has been submitted and is currently being examined by the Health and Safety Executive. Their assessment will be completed later this year and will be peer reviewed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which will issue its own conclusions. The European Commission will then decide whether to approve asulam for use. If approval is granted, Member States can consider applications to authorise products containing asulam.</p><p>The Government believes that decisions on the approval and authorisation of pesticides should be taken on the basis of a scientific assessment of risk. If the assessment shows that asulam can be used without unacceptable risk, this should be permitted.</p><p> </p>
