    German car manufacturing. VW’s biggest engine factory is in Gyõr, Hungary. BMW is building in Debrecen, then there is also Mercedes. Hungary is also a major battery manufacturer since recently.

    Couple that with some other industry, like the only non-Danish Lego factory in the EU for example, or others.

    Cutting Hungary out from the customs union would cost a lot of people with a lot of power in the EU a lot of money.

      Wouldn’t it cost Hungary more in terms of job losses and economic loss of productivity to the point Germany should be able to leverage Hungary more?
