That the traceability regulations do not alter market neutrality by giving one sector of the industry an advantage or disadvantage over another, thus influencing how producers market ketark their livestock. 3. That the costs of implementing traceability do not outweigh the benefits. 4. That implementation of traceability regulations does not cause more handling of the livestock e livestock thus creating weight loss, thus devaluing the livestock. 5. LMAC supports the use of “group movement documents and group movement reporting” on porting” onent reveme all livestock delivered to auction markets, buying stations and assembly yards.
