Not sure if this is aimed at me, but if it is it isn't what I've said.

I have said that GDP Growth in the Eurozone since Maastricht as been below the trend for modern developed economies.

So that's circa 25 years.

If it was so good, no one has copied it, independent nations have outperformed it. How is that so?

It's a nice idea, put poorly in to practise.
