Greece here.
But of course!Obviously!
There are no EU members that have and are benefiting more than Germany, and the NL.
There was a plan to have everything in ALL EU states imported from Germany (and the Netherlands). Greece has (since the 80s) the highest trade deficit in GDP terms in the EU (who profits from that? Bavaria of course).
But why did (the EU creators= the french) they want that so?
To contain and control Germany. Remember that (in case you do not already know it).
The more Germany exports (to the US, England, France, and the rest of the EU), the more politicaly DEPENDENT it becomes on their purchases.
What if in the future Germany does not comply with franco-british political demands? They impose big tariffs on german products, hereby destroying (a harsh word) german growth (economy as a matter of fact). So the UK (and France-although not allied now.., and the US) should not be afraid of having big trade deficits with germany. On the contrary.
Smaller economies (that are also forced to use a currency whose monetary role is to serve ONLY german interests) like Greece and Portugal (and all of the eurozone) however are suffering the biggest economic disaster since the war (wehave 25+% unemployment) exactly because of these german trade surpluses (we simply don t have enough economic space to put workers to work-all manufacturing/goods jobs have moved to southern Germany since the 1980s-2000s..we are left with lawers/law firms, language schools, cafeterias (haha!!!) , taverns, and everything that has actually no german/dutch/italian/french competition.
