Just seen a video that shows Dutch custom officials confiscating the sandwiches of uk lorry drivers entering Holland, because the sandwiches contained meat.
Doesn't bode well

The referendum was on staying or leaving the EU not on the finer details
If we'd had the chance to vote again on the deal once Boris negotiated it then I'm sure people would have had far more information to base their subsequent vote on
No idea if it would have changed the outcome but we will never know
The real test will be when they do open the current restrictions up and anglers start going over to France again
I think more fisheries will have to roll and sell their own baits moving forward to get around the potential risk of getting boilies confiscated
Also I am doing a drive and survive this year and was planning on cooking and freezing batches of my meals in advance but I think I will also have to reconsider this and purchase fresh in France when I arrive

So at the moment the best business plan is to open bait shop somewhere near motorway in Calais?
plus fridge with uk bacon/butter/milk

Some fisheries I know in France get their bait from Holland so it won't be a problem for them, and I believe solar's bait is rolled over there also so it might mean more business for them

Plenty of bait companies and bait rollers in France doing quality bait.

It isn´t just about taking bait that we should be worried about, there are a lot of restrictions on what food we will be allowed to take, especially those people who are doing drive and survive, all seems ridiculous!!

Unfortunately not ridiculous. We were inside the EU fence as a full member and protected by strict rules to prevent the importation of diseases such as anthrax, swine flu and foot and mouth. We have chosen to live outside the fence as a sovereign country with its own laws, currency and borders and no longer be a part of the EU. The rules have not changed. We have and we are now part of the EU's bio security threat as are all States that are non members. What we do now is our choice, as many wanted, learn to live with it and don't blame the EU for applying rules to non members as we did for over 40 years.

But French supermarkets stock wonderful food, no need to take anything from the UK David.. When we go we always allow a couple of hrs at Intermarche , Leclerc or even Lidl, it all adds to the experience and contributes to their economy..
The thing with bait is that it has not been considered at all by anyone so far, so anglers are just trying to make head and tail of a load of rules and guidelines set out for non fishing specific end use. Time will tell what we can and can't take, and how much.

ive not read all the replies on here, but taking boillies into france, am i correct in saying bait allowed in is dependant on the make up of said bait?
ie, fishmeals not permitted but nut baits are?

It all seems to be an interpretation of rules set out for food for human consumption and animal feedstuffs but not specifically anglers bait for personal use.
Genuine question to anyone who may know: What did the non EU countries anglers do in the world champs at Madine etc. ? Australia for instance, did they bring bait or buy whatever they could get locally?
