The EU states that it is the "Largest trade block in the world." Of course, it is more than just a trading bloc and no one is pretending otherwise, not the EU or me, certainly. Numerous people have discussed its evolution in this and other threads. People like Pierre and I weighed all this up at the time and decided that it was in the country's best interests to remain.
