While no doubt helpful it’s also completely unrealistic as a number of commenters have pointed out.
There are however many things the EU could work on that would help:
- common market for financial financial services (why does a FinTech company have to register in every country it wants to do business in?)
- common market for media rights (why do I have different rules to license a song or movie in different countries? We don’t need 27 iTunes Stores)
- common market for telecommunication (ISPs and mobile operators still function independently even if they share a brand)
- common labor market - make it easier to hire across borders (my employer is having a tough time hiring regional employees as we have to get set up in every country with a legal entity and register for taxes, social security)
It’s also important to acknowledge how far Europe has gotten. The common Customs area, the Euro, SEPA, Schengen all help make doing business in Europe across countries a lot easier. The also help make talent more mobile as it’s easier to move across borders.
