that is most of the EU legislation

making/operating companies, getting access to banking, hiring, etc..

all those things are catered towards multinationals by endless bureaucracy and requirements that need consultants/lawyers

it's by design

At the same time there are plenty of European companies, so clearly the increased barriers aren't a deal breaker.

so you think if there were barriers then there would be no European companies or what?
