Shock! Horror! I'm founding the English Boilie Defence League - that'll stuff those Eurocrats!
Not a bad start in my book providing they go on to ban the ubiquitous pellet next . . . . . . . . .

if the ysell of boiles cheap - stock up and just use them - who's on the bank will be policing the ban

Long overdue, the baits we use should be subjected to scrutiny and inclusions listed for the whole bait industry to adhere to.
I think you've read too much into the thread's title. My understanding is the ruling is mainly about stopping the usage of fluorescent dyes used to colour boilies.
As for banning pellets; they'll never be banned, after all they are in the main produced to feed farmed fish.

Must admit I hadn't read the article when I started the thread, saw the headline elsewhere, apologies if it mislead.

"For the full story, grab this weeks Anglers Mail"
Just a wild stab in the dark but I doubt that the EU will be banning boilies anytime soon.
I've never grabbed an angling magazine in my life ever.

Its all about disclosure and labelling compliance (MSDS and customs declarations), the laws have been in place for quite some time which we (the British Government) and all the rest of Europe have signed up to.
Good thing too.

A lot of fisheries already do!
Not for altruistic or Fish Safety reasons - but so you have to buy them from the fishery!Follow the money!
Yes I've noticed a few fisheries that do this I simply move on to a different venue I won't be held to ransom.

I'll continue to make my own it's easy and what can be better than catching on homemade baits that have the personal touch
