Henry Ford established over 100 years ago that you don't have to have
much skill to assemble a car. To be competitive it just needs to be
cheaper either by having cheaper labour cost and/or offsetting a lot of
the spend on new factories and equipment with generous "regional grants"
that will be given to deprived eastern EU countries (and/or to bale out
many of the financial basket cases in southern Europe).

If you don't think car assembly jobs are not going to migrate ask
someone from the USA what happened to Detroit.
