Exactly. Even if all it ends up amounting to is the stuff in the last paragraph of the summary, that would be huge.

The EU has a long history of doing things like this -- forcing the hand of national governments to do what they all knew needed to be done, but lacked the political willpower or mandate. Freeing monopolist-dominated or coddled industries like telecoms, delivery, airlines, railways would never have happened without the EU.
