Part of Angling Direct allegedly so ok if you don't mind accountants making your bait and hence the clout/money/licences to export.....

So if it's true it can be done by a small bait company so logically the big boys should have no trouble if the will is there.

Yeah if the will is there....as it stands to get the necessary DEFRA approvals and EHC's will be a time and financial investment for small/medium co's and probably a few of the big co's too.... that's got to be absorbed somewhere and for a lot it will be difficult to get it over there at a sensible cost as things stand and won't be worth doing.
Guys not being able to go through customs with bait will be a big hit for most and after the last 12 months we've all had I think there'll sadly be a lot less choice come the end of the year...

It's a real shame but it is what it is. I've been enjoying a couple of Euro trips a year for many years. Last year's trips were cancelled and this year's well, who knows. The costs seem to be going up year on year and the hassle, including this bait issue, is leading me to think enough is enough. I think I have lost the will to book years in advance.

My sentiments exactly.
I am into a lake on behalf of our group for the best part of 6k for a cancelled week last year that was kindly rolled over to tag onto this years trip so, 2 weeks on a commercial when I usually struggle to stay with it for one week !
I will be sticking to the Publics in future with no once a year social with friends.
Still uncertain if this 2 week trip in June will go ahead.

I had trips in March, May, June, September and November 2020 cancelled/rolled over. The March one was rescheduuled for March 2021 but has been rolled over again. Got credit or refund on the others. There is one venue I will crawl over broken glass to visit so that one can be rescheduled/rolled over as much as it likes!

Is that the venue that you get free fishing at?

there is now talk of the animal feed/ingredients etc having a sub section "recreational sport" so if that goes ahead, bait will be allowed in the EU from UK

If I remember correctly there is already a notice on Mainline's packaging saying something like 'For Recreational Sport Use Only'
