I think the nature of the EU is far more contradictory than that. It's true 
that freedom of movement for capital is a big pillar, but it's no less true 
that freedom of movement for labour, freedom of establishment, etc, is also 
central, and increasingly so. The EU has come at building Europe from the 
idea of a common market, but a lot of the jurisprudence of the ECJ is 
actually about letting people move freely within the union and not be 
bothered by certain forms of anti-foreigner state regulations.
