Maybe - the early signs don't augur well. There's been a pretty long-standing cultural divide between Northern European economies and a supposedly profligate South (particularly Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal). Culturally, you could trace this back to Weber. You could almost say that there are separate cultures in Europe - a culture of Western European economies, a culture of former communist states, and then the Southern European countries. I'm not sure you could ever develop a coherent single European culture without one culture dominating.
