All the "good" they do, the nations states themselves could do as well. You don't get magic with things like this, you only get waste and the irresistable pursuit of its own existence, more money and more power.

There is no union in that sense. Most member states hate each other and use the EU to abuse the others.

I don't see how legislation like for instance GDPR could be pushed through by individual nation states. Judging from your comments this might be preferable to you, but I still think it is a step in the right direction overall.

I can accept that opinions on whether GDPR or other multinational legislation is a good thing can vary. But there are things that nations have agreed on outside of institutions like the EU or the UN. So these things are not off the table.
