>Europe is a single market with regards to imports and exports, and that's what matters most for a business.
We're talking about scaling internal companies across EU, not about imports and exports. And scaling local start-up across the EU is a regulatory and legal nightmare for small companies.
Shipping and selling imports and exports of commodities are a solved problem for decades, but scaling a on-line notary service for instance, that works both in Germany and in Italy, isn't. The EU doesn't help much with that as they only say you should have no tariffs between each other, not that you shouldn't have various legal, cultural and bureaucratic protectionism idiosyncrasies in place. The EU won't and can't force countries to improve that to make doing business easier for cross-country start-ups.
EU countries have a lot more roadblocks between each others than US states do when ti comes to scaling businesses.
