  This is exactly what Ireland and a bulk part of the EU constituent countries don't want. We're scared of tax harmonisation. Where will the boundary of what makes a uniform trading environment be drawn? It is worrying that the case will prove that the EU can actually do this, using the EU court to do it (EU law have primacy except with the sections stated such as taxation - using competition to bypass this is disturbing). No one but Germany wants this political union, the EU was supposed to be a union based on trade, not this.
