It's companies that export - they will be the ones hit, which will have a knock on effect for the countries economy.
I doubt Romania care much if BMW don't sell as many cars in the UK as they are too expensive.
BTW, there is a special Question Time tonight at 6:45, presumably shoehorned into a weird slot so it doesn't clash with the football. Good to see the UK has it's priorities right
Germany is the biggest depositor to the EU. So where do you think the money comes from? Its from taxes. To collect taxes somebody has to make a profit and people have to earn money. And this money is distributed over all the different EU programs.
The problem is that every nation and its people think their success belongs to them. But thats wrong if you want to have an EU or going even further in the future. You can't combine all the heavy industries in one place and have the rest fight for the breadcrumbs. Lots of people were in favour of Greece leaving the EU to get their **** in order. Ofc they have a problem with a very generous apparatus of state which has to be solved. But would leaving the EU or the Euro solve anything? Correct me if I am wrong but they dont have any important industry which can compete on the world market. Greece is good for tourism and probably some other areas. In the end you have to even it out over Europe to make the EU work. Ofc you would need the same conditions in every country and not having them compete with lower taxes and stuff. At the end it would probably lead to Germans and British people having a little less but other countries having a higher standard of living. If it doesn't equalise over time you will always have problems with acceptance among your people.
There are problems like limited resources, climate change and overpopulation ahead of us which cant be solved if everyone is on its own. Other research ares like space programmes are so expensive that we can only manage them together.
Its always been that way that major problems will be connected with immigration. The real reason for all problems count their money and laugh their asses of.
