Maybe I didโ€™t explain it very well: If more and more goods and digital services are bought in Europe, this must have an impact on the economy. What parameters are going to change and where can you see this changes ?

Well the GDP would rise in europe, the stock prices would probably rise, if the HQs of the companies are located in countries that tax the income and see to that tax is not withheld the budget of these countries would rise.

Maybe(big maybe) employment rates would go up, with that immigration would probably as well.
