Overall it is welcome to me. It will be a nightmare to administer an European Union with all the different languages and ethnic groups. I think getting them to agree on anything is an accomplishment. As far as economically speaking it will be an important player. As far as militarily it will not. Although Britain and France have sizable militaries getting the differt countries to agree on anything for a venture outside their borders will be close to impossible. I like some of the things that have been done so far. I like having one currency instead of loosing on multiple money exchanges when I travel from Denmark to Austria. Needing only one visa to enter the Union is a big plus too. Under its curent guise the EU will be to difficult to administer it will need to change to be able to work. A lot of countries in the union will object to that because noone wats to give up soverignty. Ther eis too much history between the countries of the EU.
