equal distribution in the remuneration of production factors or of incomes. Another problem is specialization: the use of the resources of an individual, a firm, a region, or a nation to produce one or a few goods and services. In addition, specialization can also bring structural unemployment: a mismatch between their skills and the skills required by employers who are hiring workers. Structural unemployment occurs because the consumers demand changes over time. It is impossible to sometimes predict the consumers demand and it often results in structural unemployment. Another negative aspect of a Europe of regions is that the population moves where employment is. There is a geographical relocation. The population is deserting the less favoured regions and this results in killing economically the regions. They move to the developed regions to the detriment of others.One should not forget to state that the indirect assault on non tariff barriers to intra European Union trade means that national and regional: are now in competition to provide the best environment for the production and export of goods and services. This implies that the developed regions will cut production cost and therefore attract more industries than the less favoured ones. Once again it will increase the gap between the two. A non-tariff barrier is a licensing requirement, unreasonable standards pertaining to product quality and safety, or unnecessary bureaucratic red tape, which is used to restrict imports. The European countries frequently call for their domestic importers of foreign goods to obtain licenses. By restricting the insurance of the licences, the imports can be restricted. There is, as well, a differential degree of regional autonomy. For instance, federal states send Ministers from the regions to meetings of the Council of Ministers, whereas at the other end, regions in centralised states are largely lacking some regional authorities where they st...
