I don't think it will go quite that fast. You have to remember that the EU is made up of countries that all have their own cultural mindset and history, some of which will occasionally clash. With the exception of a federal union, which no doubt the greater part of Europe would protest to (I hope!), I think an EU president would have so little power his role would be trivial.

The main reason why a news story like this concerns me is the concept that my country might one day have to adapt laws from another that, over here, are considered outdated or would never have passed.

I've always mainly seen great benefit in the economical cooperation of the EU, but the thought of what an EU president could grow into under the right conditions disturbs me. I'd rather leave that big change up to the next generation.
