Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Driver's sandwich confiscated on Dutch border because of Brexit
At the end of January 31 last year, the United Kingdom became the first and only state that withdrew from the European Union after 47 years of membership. During the year-long transition period until the end of December 31, 2020, the UK had been in the European Union Customs Union and the European Single Market. But now, the UK and the EU countries are foreign. Travelers and goods need to go through customs. For example, all visitors, or even truck drivers to an EU country are no longer allowed to bring in food, including meats, fruits, vegetables, and fishes from the UK. In fact, a driver who arrived at an international ferry terminal in Holland from the UK was confiscated his meat sandwich at the customs.
Did the poor driver buy an EU sandwich for his lunch?
