The BP station every few kms in every single EU country, where do you think their profits go? When was the last time you went to a big Eastern European city? All the small, locally owned mom and pops shops are long gone, replaced by massive chain stores, every single one of them owned by a Western European company, where do you think their profits go? And that's just what you see on the street, then you have power stations, factories, you name it, hundreds of them owned by many of the top WE companies, most of them re-exporting up to 90% of their profits. The EU is based on common interest, this isn't some group of countries that got together because they had nothing better to do; forming one massive, single market is the way forward.
As for people exploiting your system, you should have closed all the leaks and get rid of the leaches long time ago. Seriously, what the hell is your government waiting for? Let me guess, they would rather blame the Eastern Europeans for everything than actually do something that they should have done long time ago.
