Retired GEN Hayden talks about was ist los mit dem EU here. The whole thing is about 1/2 hour; you can skip to 8:44 where he starts to address this issue, but the lead-up is worth it.

In a nutshell, EU nations have ceded a big chunk of their own sovereignty, e.g., "We (your Brussels masters) will make policy on various things like currency (including flow and restrictions/openness of) and privacy. Oh, by the way, you individual member states are still on the hook for your own security. We don't do that kind of nastiness."

The EU monolith has no dog in the fight they are enabling. Just one example; good discussion though.
