There is no sovereignty perspective because Europe isn't even sovereign to begin with. For starters it doesn't even have a common army

The sovereignty perspective here is the perspective of the sovereignty of the states that make up Europe not the sovereignty of the entity of the EU/Europe.

Though not every sovereign state has an army, see Iceland, Costa Rica, theoretically Japan, etc.
