Tim Congdon, the economist, has estimated that EU membership costs equivalent to 10 per cent of UK gross domestic product. This should not be brushed aside because the research is published by the UK Independence party, for whom Mr Congdon stood at the last general election. The biggest losses are shown to be the “costs of regulation. But the next biggest item is said to be the costs of resource misallocation, no longer mainly the common agricultural policy, but other backdoor protection. However I disagree with Mr Congdon in attaching a negative to the free movement of labour in the EU. This is a gain in human rights terms, not expressible in terms of GDP. Such free movement does not apply across the Atlantic nor the Commonwealth. It should be preserved in any future, looser UK- EU arrangement.
经济学家提姆·康登(Tim Congdon)估计,欧盟成员国的身份导致英国损失了10%的国内生产总值(GDP)。我们不应把这份研究结果置之不理,因为这是由英国独立党(UK Independence party)发布的,康登曾代表该党参与上次大眩最严重的损失为“规则的代价。第二严重的项目则是资源配置不当的成本,这里主要指的是不再实行共同农业政策,而是其他“后门保护。不过,对于康登否定欧盟内部劳动力自由流动的观点,我不能认同。从人权的角度来看,这是一种进步,无法体现在GDP中。这种劳动力自由流动没有出现在大西洋两岸之间,也没有出现在英联邦内部。这一点在未来任何更为松散的英国-欧盟安排中均应得以保留。
