Do you believe in EU integration? What would make you consider doing business with a company or person from another country within the EU. To what extent you would prefer or avoid regions (Southern, Western, Central, Balkans, Eastern, Nordics).

Do you still see in practice the competitive advantage as "west/north europe is quality, Balkans and Eastern Europe is cheap price, southeners are lazy"

How to make more business together. And how to overcome the language barriers?

Should we have equal tax policies? Since in some countries taxes take about 45% of the income. Which makes them less attractive for new business.

And Balkans/Eastern Europe is slowly catching up to western European standards. Losing the "price" advantage.

What platforms for common trade, commerce, social etc we need to integrate our countries. And should we? Or we have to be more protectionist.

Background: I am from Bulgaria. More than 15y I work with markets within EU and overseas. It's awesome. And think some sort of EU federation is one way to survive in the time of global super empires. I still feel the language barrier keeps lots of businesses disconnected. Everyone prefers its native tongue and thats completely normal. It comes with habbits, national specifics and the sense of "one of my kin". And we lack EU wide platforms to connect to.

I am interested to hear from other EU citizens. All opinions are welcomed.

Recently, becasue of Philippiens raining season, I found many of my cotton bedsheet become moldy. Very bad sleep experience. I tried to look for some linen bedsheet in the mall, but all of them selling high quality cotton, or some high expensive flax bedsheet. That's far more than normal people ability.

So I am wondering, if I establish a linen bedsheet in PHilippines, will is it popular?
