I'm talking about in general they've been mugging us off for years, I havnt actually got a problem with them for enforcing the rules of bringing in certain products its common sense but it should work both ways.

I am really suprised at the opinion people have about carp being important to the EU. Our own government and the EU couldn't give a rat **** about Carp fishing and im sure it was never something that was discussed in negotiations .
It is what it is, Companies like mainline and Dynamite are going to want to export to France and once thats all setup i would imagine the rules could change slightly but until then it is what it is so we have to get on with it. Im due out end of March i dont care what bait i use as long as i get to go

IT DOES. We are only hearing the UK side. All of these arrangements are reciprocal. We helped to write them and applied them to the rest of the world for over 40 years. Why do you think the EU didn't want us to leave. They knew what a pain in the wallet it would be and so did our politicians. Money, laws, sovereignty and borders and f**k business as Boris said

I think you'll find we are not stopping people from the EU from bringing in meat and dairy, that's what I meant about it working both ways.

We chose to leave the 'club' and now think they should change the club rules to accommodate us. It will never happen. We voted to become a third party nation and now have to accept the changes that that entails. To be subject to the normal third nation import regulations is just one part of that.

I've said I agree and I don't think they should change the rules why do you keep trying to argue with me lol all I've said is that they always took the piss out of us when we were in the union and that if they allow us to resume bringing meat and dairy over they will want something in return.

No argument Chris, it is purely that when we are suffering from our own decision I find it irritating that so many people seem to think it is the French putting one over us !! You must excuse me mate, I am an old sod after all !! lol

Lol, the thing is it's probably peopl that voted remain moaning the most because its a result of something they didn't want, as a leave voter I'm willing to accept hardship and inconvenience for what I feel will be good for the country in the longterm, but it's just my opinion and I can see why people are against it and that's their opinion, what ever happens regarding food and bait it's nothing compared to the inconvenience caused by the Chinese it's just a temporary distraction 😂

Its quite interesting that a lot of comments on this thread mirror views Before and after we entered the common market! Im old enough to remember that taking foodstuffs abroad was also “banned” but it didnt stop me mum filling her suitcase with bacon and sausages every time we travelled!
Not to mention prices went up overnight when we joined.
It will all settle down. Folk will stash their boilies and the odd unlucky soul will get pulled over for a once over. Happened to us last year for a drugs swab of the car (glad i gave up the weed when I was 17)
Do we really think the french are going to fastidiously enforce the rules as currently interpreted?
Im more interested in the logistics of it all, presumably any french customs/border checks will remain on the UK eurotunnel side and they will operate a random check, if they are there and can be arsed!
Be interesting to see what happens in reality

It could just as easily happen that after borders open with tourists again anglers will be "smuggling" in bait and all related products for trade in the back of their van... I know we did it on some other border before 😂 if they cant search every car for drugs they for sure are not gonna stop every car for bait... For trade is different as will still have to go to custom&vet inspection etc... But once a shop has got one batch with papers adding additional supply from the back of the van is a piece of cake... Nothing new in any business there...

One point that has little mention is the extra cost of selling bait in the EU now. With duty and admin costs it is possible that UK made bait could be priced out once it reaches the shelf. At the moment baits such as Nash and Mainline that can be found in many angling shops are anything up to 15 euro's per kilo and with the added costs after Brexit it will be interesting to see how prices pan out. I think the way forward for anglers visiting France will be to source bait either at the lake or from one of the many rolling companies already established in the EU. Obviously if border restrictions are eased it will be 'business as usual'. Time will tell.

Just a point in support of my point on the reciprocal nature of rules. 30% of orders delivered from the UK to Europe are being refused by customers because of the duties and taxes added without notice prior to arrival. Some bigger UK companies considering destroying goods rather than face the costs of recovery.
