So I read an article on the BBC news website about a lorry driver having his sandwiches confiscated by Danish customs as apparently you cant take meat, fish or dairy into Europe ....seems a bit OTT taking the mans lunch, but got me thinking about what the score is with taking bait to France etc ?

Not OTT, it's the law. You see similar in a lot of countries, Oz and New Zealand for example.
I believe there is no clarity around bait as of yet. I'd assume French venues and uk bait companies are seeking some though.
The rules look like it would be confiscated from you. But there may be some loophole or exemption yet to be identified.

CCMoore have said you can't take any boilies into Europe even for personal use. If they have meat/fish/milk products in them as most do

Cue a long list of posters detailing the firms who make bait that is exclusively sawdust and PVA glue, as as such fine to take to France ...

Saw that and appeared quite definitive. Does cause some headaches for French trips without doubt, even buying from the venue most English owned lakes seem to stock baits from UK firms so not sure how that can be overcome

They will most likely get forms from France,Holland + many more to roll it for them then when ordering they will be sent from within the eu so will make it legal 👍

I honestly believe this will all be forgotten about in April when everyone realises that the border control cares more about clandestines, than they do filling paperwork for a bit of Atlantic Heat.

You would think so, but looking at countries like Australia and America, see what happens when you try and take an apple in the latter

We shouldn't really be surprised this is happening. Do you really think the rest of Europe is going to make things any easier now we are out the EU?

Not with base mixes exported from the U.K. so,they will have to make the mixes from scratch with ingredients sourced from within the eu
It will be interesting to see if anglers crossing will take a hit with this and do you think Mainline etc are going to give away the make up of there mixes
