No, that is actually one of the points, I'm glad someone noticed it.

I, too, want to have my cake and eat it, too. This is a contradiction that can't easily be resolved.

I'd want Romanian sovereignty AND the convenience of big companies with lots of economic power. I guess, to your direct comment, yeah, I'd be happy enough with a few European "champions" out of hundreds being Romanian.

Personally, I lean more towards EU federalism so this cognitive dissonance is probably 30-70 towards big companies, because I think otherwise the EU will be crushed by outsiders.
