    It can still be achieved via international agreement, the EU can serve its intended purpose by fostering such an agreement, and then codifying it later.

    My key issue with it is the slow removal of national sovereignty and the movenent of decisionmaking further away from the voter. This is the exact kind of thing that has led to the EU repeatedly trying to force through impopular proposals that infringe on the rights and privacy of citizens such as chat control.

    The EU needs to focus on its roots as a common market and united front for foreign policy, not on becoming an abomination of bureaucracy.

      Taxes are also a market. Billionaires shop for the country that will tax them less.

      An EU-wide tax scheme is acting like a single market.
