    Almost everything in the EU can be explained by considering the interplay between a core of EU politicians that wants the EU to be a "United States of Europe", and those who want a looser association, and that the former group in general will grasp at whatever integration they can manage to get past parliaments and electorates at the moment, and hope it will hang together long enough to take the next step and/or that a crisis can be leverages to get support for the next step.
