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.
It was aimed at you, but I see what you're saying now.

It's interesting how different people see different things in data.

If you set it to "max" it shows the EU GDP per capita since the early 60s. To me it shows a steady unchanging rate of growth up to about 2007 then a sharp decline followed by a return to a similar rate of growth. Where's the slowing you see post-Maastricht?
