Yes. And even more if (when) the Lisbon treaty gets approval.

@Samuel: Economic suicide most likely. Due to protectionism it's hard fo Czech to compete with countries inside EU. And, leaving EU isn't easy by any means.

 

but isnt protectionism like tariffs and import taxs looked down upon int the EU makng it so that it should be an even playing field for all countries involved to ship and sale products from their country to the others? That should be a good think for the EU economy. Also the EU trying to allow for companies in the countries to branch out and expand into other regions which would be good for nations with smaller companies of similar nations as it could lead to a merger and more people getting hired as infrastructure is created.

That's what i thought too... however when the USA talked of tarrifs people complained that the EU didn't give those countries unfair advantages when trading with each other vs America and other countries.
