You are indulging in the received, mythological wisdom that sez the EU wants to become one big, happy country.
I don't think anyone actually believes that (as stated).
The EU, as an impersonal edifice, can have no wishes. What we are worried about are the plans and intentions of certain sectors which are currently controlling the EU. They seem to have a wish for "one big country" as they make announcements about wanting a single top level finance minister (hence a single currency throughout), and a single EU army.
Clearly they are not bothered with whether they have a "Big happy country". Just look at how they have treated Greece.
