eu has massive internal problems, just adding up the individual countries gdps on paper and claiming a 'united europe' with larger financial power than the united states is quite an overstatement
the member countries still havent even voted on drafting a unified constitution, the first vote in the eu was just held in spain, and it was only a vote on 'would you like to draft an eu constitution'
long way to go for the eu to find equilibrium.... the western countries are rich, the eastern countries are poor.. they have cheap labor in the eastern countries that kills the job wages in the western countries
poland is germany's mexico, etc etc....
