So I guess that leaves my country a little under 15 years to get out of the EU. Manageable.
You must be thinking that automotive will suffer from this, this leaves France and Germany on the table. Arguably, a lot of the sector is spread across the EU, but this spread is facilitated by the common market itself.
Since France has basically endless opportunities arising from its "carbon neutral" power generation, are you thinking of Germany?
I guess we could all make our bags and move to wealthier Germany and France, I mean, those of us that still decided to remain here, but that would be bad for our society at a national level (see the previous point about empty towns).
