The EU is already quite united in terms of markets, military and surveillance (under the American umbrella but still).
But many European nationalists* are not satisfied with the current arrangement because individual European governments have too much sovereignty and often resist the EU-technocratic agenda (usually for reactionary reasons).
Another thing is that combining Europe would allow for more free movement of labor through the union. This would have exactly the expected effects**. Hollowing out of the periphery. Falling wages in the core. More profits for industrial capital (idk the effects on finance capital, but I presume they would find a way to benefit if such a thing happened).
*these people function as nationalists because they think Europe forms a nation (or at least, has the potential to become one). They are not wrong even in the marxist sense since combined markets and centralised political control is what converted clans/fiefs/city states and so on into nation-states.
**at a greater intensity than what is already happening
