Except for facilitating trade within the EU by removing non-trade barriers, I cannot think of anything.
Can you?

Roaming charges
>>76815341
Well, only thing i can think off is that we are one of the countries that get more money from EU than they give, but most of it propably goes to things we have to do because EU wants us to do. Im actually wondering how would our economics change if we left EU, i would support leaving it, but im pretty sceptic about this.

>Roaming charges
That is part of the removal of non-trade barriers and actually roaming charges still exist and haven't yet been removed.
>>76815617
This.
Also better GMO protections.
All in all I think it would work if it got smaller.
Just get rid of everyone not in the Euro, remove the eastern fringe, remove Greece and ideally the non-landlocked scandies.

Long term, the Czech REpublic and Germany would have to live with a bit lower wealth, EXCEPT if we create a new free trade area that replaces the EU which exclusively focuses on removing non-trade barriers and fucks off in all other areas. That would probably end up a shitload more beneficial to what we have now.

Yeah, free-trade area would be a lot better.

genetically modified crops aren't a problem, that stuff is good, as it is more effective and leads to higher yields even in bad years. There are zero health effects or environmental effects from GMO.
Get redpilled on GMO, m8. Shills who say they are the devil have all vested interests... in particular those farmers and manufacturers of seeds who are not in the lead in GMO production and those who want to shut off the European agriculture market from the US.

Good things:
- schengen
- free trade system (for the countries with strong ecomomy)
Bad things:
- everything else

Yes, but Monsanto is the worst kind of cancer possible. Why do you THINK TTIP is trying to push for that?
>higher yields
You're a retard. We're already over-producing and only clinging on through draining the middle class of taxes with which to fund subsidies.
The last thing the world needs is more production.
Never mind the fact this would fuel growth in developing nations which would contribute to world overpopulation.
It's madness, and the whole environmental question is a stupid smokescreen.

TTIP is about free trade. GMO foods are a-ok. Keeping them out of Europe is just a fucking protective move without any reason.
>>76817006
>We're already over-producing
That is beause of subsidies. Our farmers are highly inefficient, mostly because they are fucking subsidized with our money.
>>76817006
>The last thing the world needs is more production.
Are you retarded? We need more efficiency and a shit load more production. We have a housing crisis, a transportation crisis, massively increasing energy and electricity prices, extremely high food prices compared to 20 years ago etc. All of which can only be remedied by more efficient production and construction.
TTIP is important and only some socialist commie fucktards are against it.

literally nothing. The EU only damaged my country
