    We voted to join the EEC(common Market) in 1975 Ray, this then became the EC then in 1999 the EU without anyone across Europe being consulted. With the EEC a "T" form made goods free of duties and taxes between Member States but everything still had to clear Customs. I remember clearly being told that 40% of our exports went to the 6 member states prior to joining. This rose slightly afterwards unsurprisingly as Denmark and Ireland had joined and continues to rise as more countries join to enjoy the free money.

    The bureaucrats in Brussels have long been berating us as bad Europeans but every Member State that has been offered a Referendum on a new treaty or further integration gives the thumbs down and new lot from the East love the money but refuse to follow the rules.
