Well, I see it as a measure or incentive for the countries under the influence of this "Europe" to stick to certain rules, e.g. human rights wise (except Britain, it seems), trying to lower corruption. On the other hand it unites countries with the single currency, the free trade zone and Schengen.

I think getting countries closer and tearing down borders is pretty cool. I'd like to see the EU expand beyond Europe's borders, too.
