And also the EU attempts to ensure that all businesses compete equally with each other and encourages competition laws to keep prices low for consumers within the EU. Most of businesses also benefits from product standardisation, which would mean that most products can be sold all around Europe without needing to be adapted or changed. 2) The UK National Government: The UK government provides laws that apply to everyone in the UK but also has to be abiding by the EU directives in agreed area, such as employment rights, product, product safety and competition. The government tries to attract foreign businesses to relocate to the UK to increase employment prospects.
