Trade agreements inside the European single market? What are you on about, buddy? Seems like lazy apologetics. Of course there are state aid rules in the EU, but the fact of the matter is that everyone from Hugo Boss to Seat and Nokia has been on the receiving end of favorable conditions from their home countries (Nazi uniform contracts in Boss' case). Hell, even the American giants like Microsoft and Apple are propped up on government contracts.
Trade agreements with places like the United States, China, etc.
Ok, I misunderstood you.
