Unfortunately it will be seen as nationalism, because the European Union itself has a number of unethical, anti competitive, pro monopoly trade practices under its own belt. So it will read as I am allowed to cheat, and you are not allowed to cheat. Further more it always reads like government profiteering. So is just really being served, or is it just more pocket lining.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but if you're talking about anti-competitive European companies, a lot of them have been fined by the EU no less.
