Current EU rules stipulate that a company can sell a product in any of the 27 member nations as long as it repects the regulations
of that country. A nation can restrict an import from a fellow EU member state if it fails to meet its
national regulations. The new legislation, however, intruduced on Feb. 14, requires that national authorities justifies why a product sold in another EU country cannot be sold in theirs. The draft directive states that if a country refuses market access, it has to set out in detail the precise reasons for its refusal.
A new
proposal in the European Commission would reduce red tape and wasted money, but it comes at a heavy price to European Union member states: further loss of national sovereignty. The Commission has introduced a proposal that would force EU countries to end their national requirement on goods imported from other EU nations. The Commission''''s figures indicate that the current rules cost the EU about C 150 billion a year in lost trade.
The project also calls for member nations to create one single agency that would check whether goods comply with EU rules, to replace the 1800 agencies that currently do so. The creeping centralization of power in the Eu will have a profound effect on member nations. Hence, these proposals are one more step in the ongoing creation of a EUROPEAN EMPIRE.
