No, why would they?
The FSA still does the same thing they've always done, and the EU hasn't lowered any standards, so why would you start checking things at your border that you don't need to check?
The EU uses its non tariff barriers as a protectionist weapon. Protectionism just makes you less competitive. See the last decade for the lacklustre European growth vs USA or Asia.
Protectionism plus austerity is a double disaster waiting to happen.
