The whole point of EU is to garner trade advantage by negotiating as a block instead of as small countries when they saw large countries like US, USSR and China get negotiating power. It is also to not have any tarrifs and free movement of labor internally. Everything else has been iffy at best. EU is not a federal nation like US or India

There is a EU law(such GDRP) that all member states must transpose into their state legislation. A citizen of a "foreign" member state enjoys the same rights as the "local" citizen.
The point if EU is/was to achieve an "ever closer union" so that war between European states would never happen again. It's not just an economic bloc.
Btw the immigration is the main issue which has nothing to do with trading.
