anc, I think it was created for more than trade.
The Treaty of Rome was set up to create a sngle market as a prelude toe ventual econommic and political union – de Gaulle demurred when he got in power.. That’s why the UK kept out, and soon regretted keeping out.
I can get chaprter and verse for the Euro-Federalists if needed (I think :?: ), but Germany itself evolved out of a customs union – the Zollverein – set up in 1818. Took em 53 yrs. Will take the EU longer, for sure, but money is power – they’ll get there.
Whether trade or whatever, it needs to be democratic. It’s politically horrible at the moment.
I cannot be arsed to look up the The Treaty of Rome, but, do know a bit about it, and de Gaulle Airport too!
However, I agree with your last comments’.
