Interestingly, there is an example where harmonization of tax rates has actually worked out quite well, customs tariffs for goods entering the single market.Last edited by doodab; 13 November 2013, 16:48.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostWhat you seem to be saying there is that other EU countries don't let themselves get pushed around by Brussels, and I think that's largely true. So why does Britain let itself get pushed around? Is that the fault of the EU or the British government?
BTW, for those who say that the EU pushes its laws onto the UK, its true bit its not as bad as in some countries. The following is from 2012 showing the percentage of EU law that is UK law:
UK – 15.5%
Denmark – 14%
Austria – 10.6%
Germany – 39.1%
