All things like borderless trade and common currencies harm small nations which rely on trade instead of an army. During 2008 crisis many EU countries got hit by competition from the huge corporations because we had to trade for € which became too expensive for trade partners that don't use € or have weaker currencies. Current example would be Czech Republic (EU member, but still uses CZK). To make their products "cheaper" to export, their central bank is holding the exchange rate artificialy at about 27 CZK for 1 € since earlier this year. Results, hell yea. Uneployment rate dropped to a long time minimum. Czech Tesco displays percentage of Czech made products sold at the doors of each shop. It fluctuates pretty much between 75-90 %. Meanwhile in Slovakia where I live, we have €, very little control of "our" economy and one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe. We dropped from food production independent to only about 30 % of Slovak products being in stores. We've became the Detroit of Europe, with 1,5 million cars made in a country of 5,5 million people. One would think, "Oh nice, jobs, cheap cars, developement." But hey, we all know how that worked out for Detroit after the glorious years.

People figured out a more retarded suicidal way to get rich than oil platforms and called it fracking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMsPQSDO07A

Most countries in Europe have constitutional ban on all kinds of mass surveillance (except individual cases when police wants to shut down your meth lab). Yes they can track you, but they can't use the results in court, randomly.
