A half-century after the foundation of a common market and 15 years after the launch of the common currency, Europe still lacks a united police force and a single foreign policy. Perhaps most problematic, the EU is still home to 28 armies, with 28 commanders-in-chief, bound together only loosely by NATO.
在共同市场建立半个世纪、公共货币启用15年后，欧洲仍缺乏统一的政治力量和单一回避政策。也许问题最大的是，欧盟仍有28支军队、28位总司令，通过北约松散地捆绑在一起。
