In a letter to the editor on the DN View, type C-G Pernbring that Sweden should do as the Uk – get out of EUROPE and form an alliance with the united states and the united kingdom. He writes that he feels ”substantially more as american than as EU citizens”.

There is no contradiction between to be influenced by the US and deepen cooperation with the EU. Rather, it is an advantage to be united in the world’s largest trading bloc in the world when to negotiate free trade agreements with the united states and other countries.

Around 50 different countries have free trade agreements with the EU. At an exit, it would go away. In the best case, we would need to renegotiate them with the risk of worse conditions. This risk of around 1.3 million jobs that are related to foreign trade, according to figures from the Swedish Business community.

would cost as much as the estimated costs for a possible Brexit, Sweden would lose more than $ 300 billion and many more things which cannot be measured in money.

I think many people forget when talking about the EU is, why it was created from the beginning. In the ruins after the second world war and the Holocaust, it was decided that the war would not be a solution to the conflict. Instead, one would create a common union in which goods, services, capital, ideas and people move across borders instead of soldiers and tanks.

Now, we can travel, live and work more freely across borders, Swedish companies will have a market of 500 million people and our rights are protected at the european level and not only national. To count up everything the EU has done for us, we will never get here, but it is clear that we need the EU, but not EU.

a UNION that strikes on their basic tasks. It may not develop into a klåfingrig red tape that restricts rather than expands human freedom.

the EU should not create rules that make it more difficult for individuals, companies, organisations and countries when they are doing things and not hurting anyone else. We need to have a closer cooperation concerning, for example, migration and the environment. Therefore we shall go deeper in our membership in the EU.

therefore, We must use the EU to expand our freedoms, not restrict them. Let us also remind ourselves that the EU is not perfect but with everyone’s help we can make it a little better, or worse, in the european parliament Elections in may. The choice is ours.
