Starting in the next year, livestock farmers in Corsica will be required to implant a new form of identification, known as a bolus, in their animals in order to receive subsidies from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and to make deliveries to slaughterhouses. The system, which involves a microchip surrounded by ceramics, will replace current ear tag identification and will be funded by the state. The new identification method is expected to target subsidies to farmers who are advancing in technical, economic, and health aspects of cattle breeding. This move aims to address issues such as stray animals, lost ear tags, and tuberculosis often encountered in extensive free-range farming in Corsica, as well as to curb fraud in the distribution of European agricultural subsidies, following a recent high-profile case of subsidy fraud in the region.
