As long as infrastructure investment fails to materialise or lands in corrupt hands, then no, you will not make progress. EU projects tend to go better than domestic ones due to the increased accountability and oversight they demand. I drove across Europe in the late 90's and it took weeks, navigating awful roads and overtaking horse carts. Now, there are motorways, a very visible physical embodiment of investment done well. Hell, you can drive to China from the UK in four days now. It's nothing to sniff at.

I can believe the EU is slightly more competent than, say, Greece. I can believe it's not exactly corrupt. But that doesn't mean it's progress.
