Exactly!
I would even go so far to say that the European Union -apart from all its weaknesses- is our only chance of survival. It forms our countries and its 500 million inhabitants into the mightiest ecomical power on this world in a way that cannot be ignored.
Personally i would like to see a common EU foreign policy and also a European Army one day - while retaining our national identities and languages, this is no contradiction in my eyes.
