Just to add some more fuel:
These are the things that probably could happen(?):

- Every country would make rules like they want.
-> Has pro and cons: Questionable chemicals in food could be sold. Fracking could be made easily accessible in Europe or not(Currently it is not allowed)

- More expenses for Tourists and more difficult to travel between states.

- Trading could be more difficult due certain regulations.

- Easier to deal with immigrants by not letting them into the country. (Putting up fences and walls around the borders?) Controls at the borders make it also difficult for trading goods. Takes more time. Goods will get overall more expensive for everyone?

- Poor countries have it difficult to grow or maybe it's even more impossible.

- Maybe building Nuclear Power Plants when the feel like it? More Coal plants? No one gives a crap about global warming?

- Cooperation between states against criminals or terroristic groups will be more difficult.

- Increase in racism against immigrants??

- Friendship(?) between states can brake apart.

- The worst I have heard is that a new war can spark.

- Making your own rules would be beneficial. Economically, you can put rules and regulations to suit your specific country instead of the current "one size fits all", that is very detrimental to Greece, Portugal, Finland and others.

- More expenses for tourists? I don't see how. The exchange rates are very small if you take your money out from a "money machine" (what's those called lol? ) And passports, in practice a lot of people use passports when they travel in Europe, especially after the migrant crisis.

- Nuclear plants and coal plants aren't regulated in the EU directly. But perhaps you mean indirectly due to the common goals of CO2 emission. I don't see it as a problem if individual nations decide what suits them best. We have international agreemennts such as the global summits (Kyoto protocol and stuff) that ensures co-opertation between nations.

- Control over your border is a big benefit. You can control the inflow of migrants to suit your country. Traficking of sex objects becomes harder when there's actual border controls. The likelyhood of getting caught increases if there's several border controls you have to pass.

- The co-operation between police forces in Europe would continue even if the EU would collapse. Nothing prevents nations from assisting each other.

*************  YOU DON'T THAT TO HAVE A POLITICAL UNION FOR NATIONS TO CO-OPERATE  **********************

- "increase in racism", "risk of war", "friendship between states" that's so subjective. All of that could just as well become better when regulations, rules and immigrants aren't forced upon each nation. A united harmonic society will be friendly to his neigbor nations and other people.

- Another benefit is that we get rid of the undemocratic political elite and all the expensive beureucracy that costs billion of Euros a year.

- We get rid of the uneffective EU subsidies. The sum that countries pay the EU is compensated by the sum that countries get from the EU, it's just a distribution of money from rich to poor, and in theory I don't have a problem with that as long as it's reasonable. But the problem is the money that is redistributed back to member nations. Most of it is extremely uneffective in stimulating countries. The subsidies are often uneffective or even useless - for example subsidies to culture houses and operas, often money wasted. Subsidies to roads and other infrastructures - even the Greeks question the value of all the infrastructure they've built with EU money. Subsidies to farmers - this is infamous for it's counterproductive effects, it artficially keeps alive oldfashioned farming (Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Ireland and Finland) and causes farmers to plant useless seeds only for the subsidies (this happens a lot in Sweden).

 

I don't think many people know the real reasons about why so many all across Europe are clamouring for the exit of the EU.
