Some problems are better off solved together with the rest of the EU countries.
For example, it makes a lot more sense to have European enviromental laws than to have different laws in each country.

as much as i advocate the protection of the environment, i think this is probably going to do more harm than good...in order to get environmental laws ratified over all countries, some countries would have to make concessions and remove some of their laws...some countries may have far superior laws that protect the environment, other countries may find it hard to meet targets...if laws like this were europe-wide then some of the laws would have to meet the levels of the poorest countries...if all the countries were at a similar level of progress then it would be easier to implement...but thats not the way it is
