The good thing is the UK stayed out of the single currency. Lumbering Germany to under right other countries massive debts. Sometime those debts will come home to rest.

You obviously know nothing about exports and imports. Goods sent or received from abroad must conform the the standards of the importing countries. That way we can do business with non-EU countries without being ruled by them.

I fail to see why it's impossible for you to grasp the obvious truth.

List the projects that only could have been achieved by the EU and you will see the pros of membership. List the bad things the EU has done to see the cons. Start with the EU, Euro, migration, freedom of movement, etc.
it is funny to explain someone with no skills in economy how economy works.

why do you think jaguar builds for the continent with steering left?
CORRECT ! because otherwise they wouldn't be bought there !

and do you think that makes the production for jaguar cheaper?
no ! and therefore they are much too expensive - which is another reason why only a few of them are sold!

without common standards, a product cannot even bear the same name.
marmelade and jam for example are 2 very different products. now ask an austrian if he knows what jam is. they have only ONE WORD for it and that is called MARMELADE (and they complained a lot when they had to change there common standard)

germany also had to accept that beers coming from abroad and actually not allowed to exist in germany at all according to a set of 1516 should be called beer. 15 years ago they weren't even allowed to be on german shelves because they are full of chemistry.
since then you have to look closely at beer to see if it is a real or a chemical beer. but the Germans had to bow to the fact that marmelade can only consist of fruits if it wants to be called that way and jam contains mainly sugar water.

and if you ask me we would need even more standards and EU regulations because i still buy the same tablets in germany for over 50 € and in spain for the same product I pay 2,69 €.

i would call it also good if on "bananas from spain" also the information is written that they actually come from peru and were packed only in spain

how will you trade if every importing country first has to research what is legally allowed in a supplier country and what is not?

there have always been standards in trade - because how else could you buy a screw in size 10 if you don't even know what the 10 stands for and each country has a different standard.

england just wants to leave everything at its own standards. the others should change that.
all over europe the inch measure for screens has been adopted but the decimal meter system, which is also valid in the whole EU, has not been adopted by england until today. don't you think that this costs time and manpower?

again - you are not anybody who ever run a big business with many employees. so you try to explain something where you do not have the smallest skills.
people who do not know what are they talking about should not make the rules or even complain the existing ones because they canīt come up with better ideas.
