Anyone else find it somewhat annoying how the EU, with its single currency, economy, courts, etc... still get to have multiple votes in organizations such as the UN but when it suits them to be a single entity (like when they take american companies to court) they do so as the EU. Shouldn't it be one or the other. I know there are a lot of little nuances about the EU but the general direction is further centralization and integration.
