Rod again.  I'd rather see much competition between larger suppliers.
Larger suppliers have economies of scale, economies of scope, economies
of agglomeration, and can control more factors of production. This means
their overall costs of production are much lower than a smaller
supplier.  Larger suppliers can afford to invest in specialized
equipment and processes which produce better quality products.  In
fact, there are many cases where the optimal economic solution for
customers is a single monopoly, e.g., former national U.S. telephone
monopoly had the lowest service prices but no product innovation.
Unfortunately, the opposite is true too, i.e., monopolies can be the
worst solution on price.

It is true that even trivial costs are important to a car
manufacturer.  With millions of units of expected cars even a few cents
per car becomes millions of dollars of upfront costs that they must
borrow.

I was wondering why we hadn't seen a post from you in a while ...

Well, the "Supremacy" as that article calls it, is what we have in the
U.S.  The federal government has "supremacy" on the issues it controls.
The constitution defines what it controls and everything else is for the
"member" states of the U.S.  So, I guess we don't fear this situation
as much as you do? ...  Of course, the two governments (state, federal)
that each U.S. citizen is ruled by, were developed and integrated at the
same time in history.  The U.K. is likely giving up much U.K. "federal"
level power by transforming into just a "state" under an E.U. "federal"
level government.  It seems, from Wikipedia, that the E.U. is basically
has separation of powers like the U.S. and that portions of it are
elected.  So, it just needs to be banged into shape a bit.
