If he fails to win the constitution referendum, he won't have to look far to find someone to blame.
You got me. The whole point of the common market approach is the design once concept. It's not truly necessary though as you can build to the highest standard and make a global product. This is what IKEA does, and why you see so many approval stamps on their packaging and image only instructions. I suppose the problem arises where you have two contradictory standards, possible for bananas, where us Brits might want straight ones, and the french curvy ones, but unlikely for fire retardancy etc.
