Europe is made up of separate and totally independent states - talking about "Europe having an ambition" is bizarre to say the least - a creature with a single aim
Utter nonsense

EU law    applies to all   member   states
EU   legislation applies to all member states
A common currencty applies to   all member states, apart    from those   sensible enough   to opt out.
The EU has:
Exercutive
Legislative
Judicial
Finnancial
control over its member states.

To try to say the states are independant and seperate is risible.
