DEFRA usually. Brains has contributed as above.

This from Welsh Assembly consultation before CTS was introduced:

viii) Make it an offence to transfer eartags between animals.

Makes it an offence to identify an animal with ear tags already used to identify and register on CTS a different animal.


CTS was introduced as I am sure you already know to try to curb some of the fraud in the system. Examples of which can be easily found either on the DEFRA site or a Google search.
