Most EU countries trade more inside the single market than outside it

Eurostat’s 2025 goods-trade review found that a large majority of EU member states traded more within the EU internal market than with countries outside the bloc.

To be fair, the rest of Ribera's speech is not bad: she emphasises how industrial policy (competitiveness!) should not reduce #competition in the EU #SingleMarket and that the combination of technological, market, and political power is a real problem.

But the ignorance needed to celebrate the EU #HumanRights record in 2026 (and being applauded from an audience full of wealthy lawyers for it) is really sad.

EU SLAMS DOOR ON UK'S GOODS MARKET BID

The EU has rejected the UK's proposal to create a single market for goods. This means customs checks will continue.

#EUTariffs, #UKTrade, #BrexitImpact, #SingleMarket, #CustomsChecks

https://newsletter.tf/eu-rejects-uk-single-market-goods-plan/

The European Union has said 'no' to the UK's plan for a single market for goods. This decision means that current customs and checks will stay in place.

The UK pitched a single market for goods with the EU in pursuit of deeper trade ties.

The UK government pitched the creation of a single market for goods with the EU as the cornerstone of an ambitious attempt to reintegrate British trade back into Europe, the Guardian can reveal.

Sources say it was rebuffed.

The #SingleMarket isn't an à la carte #menu, but a set one! When will our STUPID #politicians get that simple message through their thick skulls?
