They often don't coincide, they often conflict. As I've already said large multi-nationals are able to rig the system in their favour by lobbying Brussels to get complex regulations, which penalsie smaller firms that don't have large compliance departments. This provides a barrier to entry. Without it smaller firms could compete better and consumers might well get lower prices and better services through increased competition.

Plus don't forget the overwhelming number of businesses in this country (who employ the large majority of people) don't export to the EU. Yet they are still subject to EU Single Market regulation.
