This essay is dedicated to Brexit's theme, namely the exit of Belgium from the European Union. In my opinion, Belgium should not leave the European Union, because this will greatly affect people. In my work, I am going to present several arguments in favor of my position.
The first thing we have to think about is that Belgium owes a debt to the European Union. We are talking about 103.1% of the public debt as a percentage of the gross domestic product. If Belgium wants to go through Brexit, they first need to return this amount of money. After that, we will have to pay a kind of ‘bill’ for leaving the EU, which will be the amount of money that the EU has invested in Belgium, for example: industry, agriculture, etc. If we add all this amount together, we will have to pay a bill for more than billions of euros. This money, of course, will come from the taxes that people pay, and they will be higher than before.

In Europe workers from one country can go and work in another country for a long period or just temporary. There is a law in the EU that states: “The right to live and work in another member state of the EU is one of the EU's fundamental freedoms, but there are some rules regarding to the terms and conditions of employment for citizens from a number of more recent EU member states”. However, after Brexit people won’t be able to find jobs that easily outside of Belgium. They will also pay a lot of money while traveling due to documents, visas, security checks, etc. It will be a big fee for trucks that deliver goods from one country to another.
Some people are for Brexit, they will use an independent Belgium as an argument. But most people forget that our economy, food, etc. depend on other countries. Our imports are 67% dependent on EU countries, for example, the Netherlands - 16%, Germany 12- %, France - 9%. Our output is almost 75% dependent of the EU counties. If not for the EU, we would be a completely different country.
In conclusion, if we left the EU, our country would become poorer, our economy would fall, we would have difficulties with food imports, food prices would rise. That is why I am strongly against Brexit and our country's exit from the European Union.
