I don't think you understand how the EU works. You don't have to "deal with... 50 different legal systems" just the one you are based in. That's the beauty of the EU, free movement of goods, people and capital.
You can manufacture a car in Austria and sell it in Portugal without there being ANY barriers, except those imposed in Austria... which is the same legal framework as in Portugal and the rest of EU countries.
The EU economic and trade integration is in many cases more homogenous than that in the US between states.
- matthewmacleod 13y agoThat's not really true. While there are EU-wide standards for many products and regulations, which can make this job easier, there's not a true single legal framework. Look at Google in Germany for example.
- antr 13y agoDo not confuse the right and freedom to do business and sell your products/services with lawsuits (not established laws & regulation) that may arise from specific regions. Lawsuits != law & regulations. In the US, when Google got sued for tracking Safari users when they had opted out, Google didn't have to settle in all US states but only some. This "Germany example" is no different.
