@DeutschlandMapping you can't create ""Paneuropa"" with 27 different nations. It will last for 70 years and then it will collapse, because of the differences in nations' identities. You need to create a one nation continent first. The question is then, what this new nation's characteristics (language, phenotype, etc) will be.
This is not my own take. There is no such close political union, without a single nation supporting it. And what we are doing now, is just slowly remove northern Europeans from the face of history, replacing them with some southern europeans, and extra-europeans from Asia and Africa.
We must first depopulate southern Europe, and then if needed, recolonize it with northern Europeans.

@DeutschlandMapping their genetic differences are small, and also you don't have immigrant movements from one ethnic section to the other (probably because all three sections are comparably wealthy - this is also why there is immigrant balance between Germany and France).
But look at the UK, namely England and Scotland. One thousand years of common language, practically the same DNA (by now), and they still do not feel they belong to the same nation (which they more or less do by now!).
Belgium. Genetic differences are nearly non existent, yet they still dislike each other. Why? Because they are each stuck in two different identities (at the time they are pretty much the same people by now!). But the ones have one picture of themselves, and the others have a different picture of themselves.
Italy. The north is largely of germanic and cltic descent, while the south is largely of greek origins :) While they have managed to keep together until now, their identities are not 100% uniform sadly. Maybe in 200 years.
In the US, identity is mostly determined by ethnicity (white/black/brown/latino etc.) by now.
So we see genetics is very important in identity.
One interesting exeption to this, is France actually, I would say :) Maybe because, just like Switzerland, there are no significant immigrant movements in the south-north axis (except from Paris of course).

@DeutschlandMapping you are right, actually, I must admit. Yet with one exception. North and South europeans :) There, genetics are important. Or at least this is the minimum distance, in which genetics starts to become important, as a component of identity. Unfortunately.
Yes, Europe is on a way to become a nation, no doubt about that. But which sort of nation will that be? :) This is not necessarily positive. 30% south european, 10% north european, and 60% middle eastern and african? Is this what we get, after 2000 years of this history and toil? How do we know that these new people will be as creative as Germans, English, Dutch, French, Polish, Russians etc. have been?
I have the feeling that culture somehow gets intertwined in peoples' DNA. So you maybe can't transform a Nigerian baby, into a German, or a polish, or russian '''''soul'''''. I am afraid western civilization will therefore just lose the ''''''western''''' (or if you like, ''''northern''''') part.
