What's to stop the EU (or any of the member countries) from passing a tax law that says that anyone doing business with EU customers have to pay a profit tax to that EU country. The profit tax doesn't even have to be proportional to the sales from that country. And of course, the write-off laws are different in every country.
Imagine a Delaware based US company having to file a tax return in Delaware, the US, and twenty different European countries.
