Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Despite efforts to create a collective European identity, many Europeans still identify strongly with their own national identities which can create divisions and hinder progress towards greater European unity. The other options are not as significant or relevant to the current challenges facing the EU, as it does have a common currency (Euro), an EU military force, and has made progress towards a single internal market. Agricultural subsidies have been a contentious issue but not a major challenge in recent years.
