    I did some research and the NS was never privatised.

    What I mean is if any industry is privatised before or after a country joins the EU, they can’t nationalise it anymore. And after joining the EU, they can’t create new national industries.

    For example, if Spain found oil on its shores and wanted to economically exploit that, they would have to privatise the oil fields. They wouldn’t be able to set up a new national public oil industry.

    For an example of a privatised industry, think the healthcare industry in the Netherlands. It can’t be nationalised and made public, it has to remain private forever as long as the EU exists.

      What about renationalising an industry that was already nationalised during EU Association?
