It's one reason big business loves the EU. They can do their lobbying in Brussels where there's no oversight (unlike here). Just like with MEP expenses.

Of course 'we' don't want a level playing field. We want any advantages on our side. Then carp when another country does the same.

Clearly the EU isnt AFRAID of innovation produced that way.

that's irrelevant
the low cost of one part of production feeds into the competitive prices that they sell at on the global market
something that the EU is seeking to deny us.

Wasn't that the idea of the EU that everything is the same cost. i.e a loaf of the same sort of bread in france should cost the same as it does in any other EU country. Seemd a nice idea even if it was flawed.

I don't think the EU has yet grasped that Leave means Leave, i.e. no longer in.

It may well be to you. It's crucial to those living there.
Anything else you'd like to make up while you're at it?

No.
What they did do was if a maker decides to price the same product differently in other EU countries, you are free to import it from the cheapest one.

Well it was when I was at school, similar to nuclear energey being so cheap it;s cost more to post the bill than we;d used oh and 30 hour working weeks or whatever it was.
I do that with amazon, didn't think you needed to be in the EU to price compare.

No it wasn't. And never was. Any more than things like a loaf of bread costing the same anywhere in the same country.
That idea pre-dated the EU by quite some time. And was said by an idiot.

Still innovation with vacuum cleaners instead of a more powerful motor.
And clearly the EU isnt AFRAID of that innovation.
