EU is composed of member states just like United States is composed of "united" states. The citizens of EU have equal rights. There is hope the EU member states will get united one day as well but we are not there yet. Some want to have the cake and eat it too(i.e intelligence sharing but no data sharing, sovereignty and equal rights as well). Currently the trend is to blame EU for anything like the EU would be an institution lead by states outside of the EU.
