UK driver's sandwich confiscated
英旅客食物被海关没收
Dutch TV news has aired footage of customs officers confiscating ham sandwiches from drivers arriving by ferry from the UK, under post-Brexit rules banning personal imports of meat and dairy products.
荷兰电视新闻近日播出了海关人员没收多名从英国乘渡轮抵达的司机的火腿三明治的画面。
Officials wearing high-visibility jackets are shown explaining to startled car and truck drivers at the Hook of Holland ferry terminal that since Brexit, "you are no longer allowed to bring certain foods to Europe, like meat, fruit, vegetables, fish, that kind of stuff."
根据英国“脱欧”后的规定,个人不得携带肉类和奶制品进入欧盟。身穿反光背心的海关人员在荷兰胡克渡轮码头向满脸惊讶的汽车和货车司机解释,自英国“脱欧”以来,“你们不再获准将肉类、水果、蔬菜、鱼类等食物带到欧洲”。
To a bemused driver with several sandwiches wrapped in tin foil who asked if he could maybe surrender the meat and keep just the bread, one customs officer replied: "No, everything will be confiscated. Welcome to the Brexit, sir, I'm sorry."
一名一脸茫然的司机拿着几个用锡纸包好的三明治询问是否可以不要肉,只留下面包,一名海关官员答道:“不可以,所有东西都得没收。欢迎‘脱欧’,对不起了,先生。”
The ban came into force on New Year's Day as the Brexit transition period came to an end, with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs saying travelers should "use, consume, or dispose of" prohibited items at or before the border.
随着“脱欧”过渡期的结束,该禁令于元旦正式生效,英国环境、食品和农村事务部(Defra)表示,旅客在边境或进入边境前应“使用掉、消耗掉或处理掉”违禁物品。
Dutch customs also posted a photograph of foodstuffs officials had confiscated in the ferry terminal, adding: "Since Jan 1, you can't just bring more food from the UK."
荷兰海关还贴出了一张在渡轮码头没收的从早餐谷物到橙子的各种食物照片,并补充道:“自1月1日起,您不能再从英国带入更多的食物”。
