    Oh man, The internal market is really in bad shape and worse than I imagined.

    Seems that the internal market system IS very incredibly fucked up, and it’s all due to national legislation( or lack of common regulations)

    Companies “that are producing the same product across the EU receive very conflicting messages, and will end up being sanctioned or rewarded for the same product in the 27 member states”, Dessi said. (…) All this means time and money wasted.

      I mean, it’s better than no internal market, but it sure can get a whole lot better.

        Exactly, realising that with the right efforts en less internal protectionism and/or rules, products could be up to 45% and services up to 110% cheaper, is actually quite mind-blowing.

          That’s some Trump maths right there. But if you find a service 110% cheaper let me know, because I’ll buy A LOT from them. 😁

            Idk, that’s what a calculation by IMF quoted for the services. Didn’t dig into that.

            But I do remember from years ago the differences in wages of a doctor in Romania and in Northern Europe. Same still goes for manual labour like plumbing, construction, woodwork.

            This is Reuters quoting that fyi. Arch.

            Edit: damn now I get what you mean. Never thought of it that way LOL. 110 % cheaper meaning you earn 10% haha
