My colleagues and I deal with a few exports. So a sealed container of foodstuffs going through France for onward travel to outside the EU. That means the contents have been inspected and certified and a numbered seal applied to the container.
It had the wrong vehicle registration number on one of the documents. Everything else correct. Now what I'd expect to happen is the container be held at customs until new paperwork could be issued. There's no question about the container and its contents.
What I wouldn't expect is French customs officials to break the seal, casually open the container and tramp about in it. It's got foodstuffs in it and they are not even for use in the EU, just transiting on their way to Ukraine. If there was a question about its contents, there's a procedure for inspecting these things so it can be opened in a suitably hygeinic environment, inspected by someone considered competant to issue new documentation then re-sealed. Not rummaged through by some flatfoot on a power trip.
As it is, the whole lot is going to land up in a skip. As soon as they took that seal off without a competant person being present, the chain of custody was broken.
This isn't even something different to what happened before Brexit, the documentation is the same because it's a third country export. What has changed is the attitude of the French. |
Except before Brexit there was no French custom checks so how this is the same? The documentation before Brexit is third country export documents issued by UK and the only custom check would have been the exit of the single market border say in Poland.
There was no intermidiate custom checks on any other borders say French or German along the way.
Now French do custom check, because UK is the 3rd country. You literally voted to leave the EU and the single market and now complain about it LOL 
Wait until you find about he EU’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) which will require fingerprints and facial scans to be taken from UK travellers heading to EU countries.
It’s set to begin in October 2024
There is more though. EES is part of the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) that will likely be implemented next year 2025.
ETIAS is not a visa, it is a travel authorization being implemented to boost security and stop criminals entering Europe. One of the many checks will be against European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS).
If you have a criminal record, it does not mean that you will automatically get declined for an ETIAS, as it depends on the details of your criminal conviction and when it occurred. There is no exact list of which criminal convictions will prevent you from obtaining an ETIAS but you can assume that crimes of a more serious nature are likely to lead to a declined application.

Suits me, keep them out too. Particularly pleased that both Labour and Consertive have in the past few days, turned down the offer from Ursula van Whatsherface to open borders for under 30s to work acrosso EU and UK..
.. its easy to anticipate the direction of majority travel, and once in its hard to repatriate such visitors when time is up.

We probably dont need this scheme for now having just pilfered the best Ukraine had to offer (skilled labour, hot women and of course their scientists).
Balding 60 year old British men need a 20 year old Ukrainian wife dont they? It's closer than Thailand 
Apologies to MeeSohYung if you're reading this - I didn't mean your husband

Oh look. An EU country wants to pass legislation to forcibly repatriate irregularly arriving assylum seekers back to the last "safe" country they initially crossed over from.
Thing is, it's Eire and they want to send their illegals back to the UK.
I'd suggest we run whatever reason the French give that makes this impossible through google translate and forward it on to them.
