I think OP works for a member of parliament, if I understand them correctly. Their offices are actually not that sensitive. All the secrets are held by the executive, and the EU doesn't even have the sort of military and intelligence institutions that are usually most secretive.

No, he is saying that he is a member of a parliament. The lower house of the Irish parliament to be exact [0].

Might just be because the EU is a trade block, it doesn't have secretive military and intelligence institutions because it doesn't have any military and intelligence institutions at all.

Better let INTCEN, SIAC, SitCen, EUFOR and EUNAVFOR know that.
The EU is absolutely far, far more than a trade block.
and ISAF (now RS/Resolute Support)

ISAF and RS are functions of NATO, not the EU.
Well shit, I better let the people in the DGSE and BND know that they shouldn't have access to their data sharing partnership with the NSA. Some guy on the Internet says that the EU doesn't have any IMINT, HUMINT or SIGINT, it must be true.

France or Germany having their own intelligence services is entirely compatible with what I said though. Their allegiance is to their own country first, and data sharing partnerships change little.
