The EU didn't have anything to do with the destruction of any industry, really. And especially none with Nokia?? Terrible product decision making destroyed Nokia's consumer business, not the EU. But Nokia and Ericsson are still there and quite strong in networking. You just don't see them because they're not consumer oriented businesses.

Also, there are many industries still flourishing across the EU. Airbus, Renault, Zeiss, ASML, ThyssenKrupp, Saint-Gobain, Nestle, Siemens, Sanofi, IKEA, Inditex, Schneider Electric, etc etc etc.

Problem is: this list gets shorter every year, without any new additions in the recent decades (!)
