It was decided to have a EU parliament and to give that parliament a certain power over its member states. If you can choose to veto the laws individually I see no point in having such legislative organs and processes. Negotiating and formalizing such laws is very expensive. Spending that money if the outcome is just a non-binding idea or recommendation isn't justified IMO.
It was merely to facilitate trade and commerce.
I think we are far behind that point that the EU was only about trade. But even if this was true, having common rules is important in a joint market to avoid unfair differences.
The bastards! Maybe get with the times? Looking at you, car industry!

What is the purpose of EU wide legislation if the states get to cherry pick every law individually. That's absurd.
