Never say never but I think at some point Europeans in the EU are going to have to centralize more and speak more with a single voice if they are to protect their interest because the world is changing with the US continuing to get more powerful, a rising China and India and other groups of countries forming. Basically, I think when push comes to shove, Europeans will integrate a lot more in areas that is hard to think of doing now and it won't be because they want too but because they have too if they want to protect their interest, the alternative is to be weak and divided with the likes of the US, China and India playing games with them which would impact the economy, political interest and even social system standards as the US have shown many times it wants to weaken standards like food standards, workers rights among other things which ironically, the UK could be the perfect test case to see that happen now they are not protected by the EU.

@stalker5299 Ture and it's expanding and when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense to do it slowly as a transitional effect because it's easier for people to get their heads around it.

@rw3899 I suspect by 2050, the EU and most of it's members could be on the verge on some kind of United States of Europe or some federation, a lot of younger generation of people are much more open to the idea of integration than older generation of people so it might just be a matter of time and with all that, the quality of living should take a boost with the efficiency improvements of integration.
