Well here are some points from me as to why it is a bad thing. They are obviously biased towards my own country the UK as I cannot speak for the rest of Europe. I will also add a video to this post which, is a long watch (slightly over an hour) but it alarms me.
The EU high command are un-elected (they are appointed) this is not a democratic process, most people in the UK do not even know who these people are and have no say in removing them should they need to do so
The EU are deciding on our laws and once passed we have no say in changing them
The EU bureaucrats essentially have power without accountability
Britain can never control immigration until it leaves the European Union, because freedom of movement gives other EU citizens an automatic right to live here.
Britain’s links with the EU are holding back its focus on emerging markets – there is no major trade deal with China or India, for example. Leaving would allow the UK to diversify its international links.
The danger to jobs has been over-exaggerated. By incentivising investment through low corporation tax and other perks Britain can flourish like the Scandinavian countries outside the EU.
Britain does not need the EU to prosper internationally. By re-engaging with the Commonwealth the UK can have just as much clout as it does from inside the EU.
The free movement of migrants to the UK puts more pressure on Infrastructure, such as health, housing and on all the public services.
Anyway these are just a few points and I will add to this as the discussion goes on. As you can see I am not just a Eurosceptic I am dead against it.
Here is the video/documentary
