Leaving the European Union would save every Dutch household 9,800 a year by 2035, claims Capital Economics, a London consultancy, in a report commissioned by Geert Wilders’ far-right PVV party. Mr. Wilders calls this "the best news in years", painting a picture of a country freed from the chokehold of Brussels, mass migration and high taxes, and enjoying more trade, more jobs and a booming economy.
The report lists the benefits of departure: lower business costs because of less regulation; no more net payments to the EU; a doubling of the share of trade with emerging markets; faster economic recovery. The only cost is the transition from the euro to a new guilder, and this is "modest and manageable". The report concludes that Dutch GDP would be 10-13% higher by 2035.
This finds a receptive audience among those Dutch who are looking for scapegoats. Unemployment has doubled since 2008 and the economy is flat. A recent poll finds a majority of Dutch voters in favour of leaving the EU if that would lead to more jobs and growth. The PVV is leading in opinion polls before the European elections in May.
Yet there are problems with the Capital Economics report. The idea that the economy would miraculously recover if freed from the European Central Bank’s policies ignores the structural failings that hold it back. The assumption that having the guilder would allow a much looser monetary policy is, at best, questionable. And it defies political reality to imagine that Netherlands would enjoy virtually cost-free access to the EU’s single market, which takes 75% of Dutch exports. Norway and Switzerland both pay for the privilege and have to comply with most EU laws and regulations; the latest Swiss vote for quotas on EU migration threatens the entire relationship.
Despite its flaws, the report fires a welcome starting-gun for a debate about what is good and bad about the EU. Some 66% of the Dutch feel their "No" vote in the 2005 referendum on the EU constitution was largely ignored. If regulation costs as much as the report claims, and if the ECB’s monetary policy is too restrictive, both should be changed. Defenders of the EU also need to stress its Jess tangible benefits, such as peace, shared interests and the boost to the fight against cross-border crime.
The report says that departing from the EU brings all benefits EXCEPT ______.
选项
A、less restrictions
B、more share of trade
C、higher family income
D、change of currency system
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的“departing from the EU”,“benefits”定位到第二段第一句:The report lists the benefits of departure:...该句冒号后面的内容即答案的来源,其中“lower business costs because of less regulation”对应选项A,less restrictions;“a doubling of the share of trade with emerging markets”对应选项B,more share of trade;由“Dutch GDP would be 10—13%higher”推断出选项C,higher family income。第二句“The only cost is the transition from the euro to a new guilder”对应选项D,由此可见“change of currency system(货币体制的改变)”不是好处之一,选项D为本题答案。
