VNA, if a few rich people find they can make money importing something from outside the EU, they will pull the strings to open the markets.
For example a few months ago the Moroccans vegetables and olive oil were allowed to be sold inside the EU as easily as the Spanish ones. So what's the point of the EU then?
Before the single currency Spain was developing well, slowly but realistically. More important: people lived easily, everybody could buy a house and live with dignicy. Some imports were a bit more expensive, and travelling to richer countries was not so affordable. That's all. Now prices are French, but salaries remain Spanish. It is much worse in Portugal, prices-salaries there are crazy, not just now with their bailout, but since much before. Oh yes it reminds me another "good" thing about the EU: now Spanish companies are making legally portuguese contracts to spanish workers working in Spain :eek
