It is a simple fact beyond all modern alternative facts that Europe's open single market with more than 500 million people makes us all richer. Every day. Every year. It is logic for beginners. Border controls cost money. Paper work costs money. Delays cost money. The need to have products and services agreed in each country instead of once and for all for all countries costs money. Actually, it's amazing that some people waste their time saying the opposite!
A new report from the Danish ministry for Business says that in the case of Denmark the EU single market increases the GNP with 5 % every year, and that it gives each family in avarage 65.000 D.kr ( 8.700 € ) more income per year. The situation is probably the same in most EU countries.
But this does not mean that all is good. There is still a lot to do - and to gain - from more improvements in the European single market. Take digital service. Take financial services. Take energy services.
So, dear politicians - get going. Move on. Do not get disturbed by noicy uninformed and populist forces. Move ahead, so we all can enjoy many more of the low-hanging fruits in working closely together in Europe!
