Eventually, yes. All the trades will be intermingled between countries, and

This government wants and needs the "Auf Wedersien Pet" attitude back in the
community if it is to survive through two more elections as they plan too.
The more they can make harmonisation between the EU member states, the
better for them to produce trade in workers to all the new developing
countries that are proposing to join. It is seen now that these countries
currently have labour but not skilled labour, so they will need the skills
from other members to bring them into line with the EU administration
requirements.

The member countries currently have legislations controlling who and how the
skilled work is done, so is now becoming part of UK legislation. It is
reckoned as the normal practice when the skills are introduced from other
member states, so if you're not registered as being competent doing these
types of jobs, you don't get the chance to tender for work in other places.


I know how implementation in national legislation of EU policies and
directives is *supposed* to work, but the reality is that it doesn't
and is not likely to with the current construct.

You can choose virtually any topic and compare the legislation in
different countries and you will discover that the variation of the
content of it is substantial. After that comes the method of
implementation and policing and finally what happens on the ground.
The different styles and cultures make sure of that.

The U.S. hasn't achieved the kind of uniformity that you describe and
they have a federal system and have has a considerably longer period
to make it happen had they wanted to do so.

Sorry, but the situation you describe is not really wanted by people
if they think that it will interfere with their lives. If they live
in an environment where the law is more a matter of policy then they
probably don't care. This is all stuff promoted by those seeking to
gain power over others because they are unable to do a proper day's
work.

It's a dream, and rather a wet one.
