Notes on the EU Single Market

A live blog post (ie to be updated regularly)

• The key to the EU single market and the EU in general is making SMEs and people feel at home in "it". Has not happened yet. And I do not mean just trade of goods or freedom of capital movement.
• The Euro was/is an element of a single market and a single "space", not a goal in itself or the tool for bankers and central bankers (and speculators) it became.
• Language inter alia prevents the EU27 from being a single market for advertising. And that is a serious fundamental flaw for a single market and an entity like an EU.
