Eventhough dated (2014) these maps might be a good starting point for a closer look at supply chains and economic dependencies.

In regards to everyday products this begs the question if people could really go “cold turkey European only”. It should be impossible, especially since all manufacturers rely on goods from different countries.

Which doesn’t imply, that the gist of strengthening Europe is futil. But it makes clear, that this is a marathon and not a sprint.

    Absolutely. I just wanted to do my part on discussing realistic goals, or at least have a take on dependencies.

    In today’s times I would love to see a more resilient supply chains and markets.

      100% agree, its also good to just have this knowledge.

      Would love to see more manufactured in the EU again. Not only to bolster our economy but also just have less dependance (and hopefully also less emissions) for the products we buy.
