I always thought the "general" idea with the EU was to team up to have a larger market to make deals with other large markets like the US and China.... not measure participation / contribution rates internally.

It seems short cited to simply measure internal numbers and then face larger markets as a group of smaller fragmented markets....

I think it was a smart and good idea, and Germany has really leveraged it well, but they're (maybe France?) the only ones that are going to be able to. The EU is in many ways a CDO that Germany has been trying to sell the world.
