Oh please.There's a world of difference between the common market and what the EU has become. Rejoiners can't or don't want acknowledge that, what need has a trading block for parliament, MEPs, civil servants etc etc?
Oh please.
Not this recycled garbage again.
You won.
Get over it.
I most definitely have.This whole thread is recycled garbage.
You lost.
Get over it.

So people can have a say in the legislation that effects their lives?
Ordinary British people now don't have a say.
It's weird to see that held up as a good thing.
Why do they need to have a say in the legislation that affects another country?
I trade with various companies every day, we agree terms and supply/receive goods as required but we do not have a say in how each others business is run.
Goodness me.
I don't buy anything made by slave labour if I can possibly avoid it.
Would you like to take this opportunity to say the same thing?
That's not a condemnation of slave labour.Where has slave labour come into it? Does EU legislation stop slave labour?
If I don't like the way a company does business I take my business elsewhere and vice versa.
That's not a condemnation of slave labour.
I'm sure you will take the opportunity to do so soon though.
You would say that wouldn’t you, short on anything to back it up. Did you know our exports to the EU have fallen by 25% since 2007?Are you having a laugh. I would say nearly every country in the EU has benefited in one way or another with the exception of the odd few that have managed to mismanage their own economies, even then the EU has been there to help bail them out.

A moment ago you were certain that there was nothing that could possibly be to do with trade that would be needing a parliament.
Now you're wanting to know what they're doing to prevent such outrageous violations of norms.
Do pick a lane.
Landmark due diligence legislation agreed in the EU - Anti-Slavery International
In the early hours of Thursday 14 December, the European Parliament, European Commission and Council of the European Union reached a definitive political agreement on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.www.antislavery.org
Trade in the 21st century requires consensus on serious, far reaching, technical bits of legislation with ethical and cultural sensibilities taken into account and the pretense otherwise is frankly tedious at this point in time.
The idea that you'd commit to a massive ongoing democratic deficit is very much on brand though.
