I'll keep trying though. Very true, from the word go they will be sending out the bills..........one native French guy did say, whilst taking our cotisations that we could not afford, "you should always set up your business in England, like many French people do.  He also said that the French will have you closed down in three years and he was right.............Enough of the doom and gloom, good luck to you..........maybe you could supply a local shop, French or English, the brits love their pies apparently. http://www.ezfreewebhosts.com/    Report

There is a reason for asking this which may become clearer depending on your response The regulations in France are the same as in the UK and based on good old common sense. They are there for a reason (to stop us getting ill). With regard to cotistations, there are new rules about microbics which you may find usefull as you only pay 24% of your actual figures now. There is another thread which states a website mamicrobic or something similar, have a look.        Report

I used to frequent a pub in England that sold a three course meal: Pie Soup - the soup had a pie crust floating on it Cow Pie - in the style of Desperate Dan, including pastry horns poking out the top Apple Pie Marvellous.

He arrives early at the square in a small car filled to the brim with dogs and sets up a few tables. He has a grey beard that reaches down past his chest and never ever uses gloves when serving. Despite the fact that all the eggs he sells taste like eggs should taste - with lovely yellow yolks and whites that do not spread all watery-like in the frying pan - the shells are all liberally covered in chook poo, though I now ignore this. His eggs are a dream to cook and eat. His cheeses are very popular too, however I do not like chevre. He also serves everyone with an omnipresent fag dangling from his lips. I wonder what the EU nobs would make of him!        Report

I still don't think I'd buy cooked meats from a stall that sells raw meat side by side with it but, on the other hand, I am sure one's constitution gets used to the odd e-coli or whatever lurks in eggs and meat.  The thing to do is to get desensitised to it?    Report

As you might imagine I am in favour of every food hygiene regulation there is! Patrick    Report
