Friends have a property in France that they have been unable to visit since the covid outbreak and they are going soon for their first visit post brexit. They are unsure on the rules and regs of what can be taken to France and what can be brought back too, They may have to dump food they are bringing due to the phytosanitary rules the UK is subject to post brexit, also they are unsure as to what they can bring back with them in the opposite direction.

Gone are the days when they could simply load up with their favourite wines and food and bring it back without thinking. Of course it goes without saying that the time they could spend at their house in France is also reduced. Additionally they are uncertain about how thorough the French customs checks will be, previously it was simply a case of a cursory look in the boot or to be waved through without checks . So, absolutely NO benefits for them, things are worse and they will only find out the scale of the damage when they go.

You should tell them to stop being negative and move on with their lives, instead they can buy a holiday home in Australia and drive there instead

One can only imagine how irritating that is not knowing what of your favourite wines and cheeses one can bring back to the UK.

Well some good news ( I think), having spent a few minutes researching the conundrum posed I’ve found the following…..

‘New rules have come in following full Brexit with regard to what you can bring into the EU from the UK and vice versa.

With cheeses and other dairy products, however, there is some good news, as the UK rules are currently less restrictive than the EU ones. The rules are also flexible when it comes to taking over wine, though limits apply.’

Do pass on this information to your friends, it might help deal with some of the apparent anxiety. [emoji106]

That will be down to the fact that we are totally incapable of implementing any of the import controls we were going to implement on Brexit (Remember Taking Back Control?) and currently look no more capable of implementing them than we did 9 months ago.

So another Brexit benefit. Well, at least it is if you are an EU smuggler or tax avoider :facepalm:

Remember the Northern Ireland Protocol conundrum that you promised to give more thought to 6 months ago. While you're on form, maybe you could spend a few minutes researching that now. Some may think that you've left it 6 years too late to do the research, but I like to think that learning new things is always beneficial :wink:

Oh dear. It’s almost as if you don’t understand why you voted for. Or indeed, what you are typing.

Oh dear Clamp, I was just trying to help a fellow fan out who mentioned friends of his were worried about bringing their favourite cheeses and wine back from their visit to France, that’s all, no need to be nasty [emoji106]

Being dead can’t be that bad. The dead person doesn’t know they are dead. It’s the people around them that suffer. It’s the same with stupid people.
