The subtle problem with that is that the fundamental concept of the EU
is freedom of movement for both goods and people. And, yes, it was the

of the whole concept.
Goods yes, people no.
Wrong. It was explicitly within the 1957 Treaty of Rome.
this is a good history

"The Treaty of Rome in 1957.
This set up the European Economic Community (EEC), known as the Common
Market. The Common Market sounds like economic co-operation only, but
the treaty set up all the machinery of a single superstate, including a
Council of Ministers, an executive Commission, a Parliament, a legal
system based on continental law and headed by a European Court of
Justice, a Central Bank and a tax system called VAT. There was also a
Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), although Fishing was not yet included.
There was no way of changing any parts of the treaty unless all
signatories agreed to do so.
The European Court of Justice was set up to give judgements which must
always be in favour of closer political union. This court had little to
do with €śJustice€ť and much to do with €śIntegration€ť. It should have,
more accurately, been called the European Court of Integration.
This treaty, and all the others following, were drafted in accordance
with the €śAcquis Communautaire€ť system, €śthat which is acquired by the
Community.€ť It means power, once handed to Brussels, is never returned,
and cannot be re-negotiated. "

Ineptocracy
(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
