The Costs and Benefits of the European Union

As the government has refused to offer a study into the cost and benefits of the EU (because they are self-evident) We are forced to either accept their unproven assumptions that Britain gains by its membership of this organisation. There have been other private studies, which show there is doubt that the benefits of the Union are in fact self-evident this is new study that indicates we would be better of if we did leave.

If the UK were to leave the EU, there would be no net loss of jobs or trade. In addition, we would be between £17 billion and £40 billion per year better off, possibly more. These are the findings of A Cost Too Far?, published by Civitas.
Prime Minister Blair often claims that 60 per cent of the UK’s trade and three million jobs ‘depend on’ our EU membership. Closer analysis reveals this to be a highly misleading claim.
