| Jan 7, 2014 at 14:26 | comment | added | Michael Borgwardt | @JonathanReez: it's not illegal, but at least in theory shouldn't make a difference since all EU contries have to implement the same measures. | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 14:01 | comment | added | JonathanReez♦ | An obvious solution would be to enter the EU through another country and then proceed to Germany. Even a transit flight through another EU country should be enough to get you off the Customs radar. Though this is probably illegal. | |

In practice there is zero enforcement of this, and if even you were to ask the Customs guy "there's some meat in my curry here, can I bring it in", I suspect he would roll his eyes and wave you through -- it's not exactly the kind of biohazard the law is meant for. | |
