I have made my views clear - I am strongly opposed to trade barriers, as I believe that they end up making a country weaker, not stronger. Byzantine legal differences are just one form of trade barrier. Put another way, business practices differ strongly between countries, and there is little incentive to unify them. If we, as consumers, voters, and workers make it clear to our suppliers, legislators, and rulers that we want unification, then we will get it.
