- jomamaxx 10y agoThat's great, you managed to keep yourself the lowest growth area in the world, while the rest of the world is gaining wealth by leaps and bounds. Everyone else is opening up, Europe is hiding in the closet. Wallonian farmers will pay a much harder price in the long run when the Flemish dump them.
- wott 10y agoEurope is already the most open market. The way proponents of such treaties try to sell them to us is that, thanks to them, European companies could go fuck other markets as easily as companies from other continents can already come and fuck our markets.
