I don't see what the point in comparing your wealth to that of others. You'll always find richer people anywhere you go. What should concern one that wants out of poverty is not how well others are doing but how well one self is doing. Nationalizing industries won't fix economic gaps, it'll do just the opposite. Now there will be a class of poor people and a class of rich people with political power (the state).

well local authorities in the EU are not allowed to engage in external contracts, it is an exclusive task of the EU and decisions has to come through the council which consist of nation states with veto-power.

the proces of integration of the eu market was enforced by judges who dealt blows to the nations for keeping up barriers indirectly, it could not have been done without the position of this court standing above the sovereignty of the member states. trust me, countries in europe where all but willing to liberalize their trade, even though they acknowledged the goals of the common market.
It is yet debatable if regionalization will one day lead to globalization.
