- Ekaros 4y agoEU is about harmonization of regulation and free trade of goods, services and workers... They really wanted to lose workers part, but you can't really do that without the rest and not undermine the whole thing. So it was never acceptable from EU point. Now introducing any level friction of trade quickly moves trade to somewhere else if price is competitive and there is less friction.
