 The CESAR Scheme
The CEA is acting as lead organisation for the CESAR plant registration scheme at the invitation of the Plant Theft Action Group
(PTAG) – and Datatag is the service provider. Registration, combined with Datatag's technology, both deters theft and makes recovery of stolen plant more certain. CESAR is a voluntary scheme and manufacturers can elect to fit the CESAR kit as standard or as an option for their customers. Alternatively, they may nominate their approved distributors to undertake the fitting on new equipment and that already in operation.

CEA/AEA Agreement Signed
The Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA) has adopted CESAR as its official security and registration scheme. Roger Lane-Nott, Chief Executive of the AEA, and Yvette Henshall-Bell (a Director of the CEA) signed an agreement between the AEA and the Construction Equipment Association (which owns the CESAR trade mark), during the fifth annual Construction Industry Thefts Solution conference at the JCB world headquarters. As a result a number of leading agricultural equipment manufacturers are expected to announce shortly that they will be fitting CESAR to machines supplied in the UK. Roger Lane-Nott added the support of AEA to an already successful scheme; “The CESAR scheme gives the agricultural industry and the police the upper hand in fighting organised criminals that target agricultural equipment. CESAR is a powerful deterrent against machinery theft and it gives farmers, contractors and the police ‘state of the art’ identification technology that significantly increases the chances of recovery in the event of theft. I am delighted to announce that the AEA is getting behind the scheme in order to combat organised and opportunistic equipment theft, which is a real issue in the agricultural market. It is not acceptable to have criminals targeting hard working farmers and their families”.
