You are unsing a very specific example do draw a very far-reaching conclusion.

The only fact that the there are some 20 different languages makes the EU a much less omogeneous market than the US.

This withouth considering that each country has its own employment policies, social security services, healthcare system, education system, revenue service...

I'm strongly pro-union, but it's far from perfect, or even efficient, in the current state.

No, I don't think "in some ways Europe is a more homogenous market" is far-reaching at all, especially when accompanied by a concrete example.
