The 28-member bloc has come under increasing pressure in the past few months – with experts claiming it is on the verge of collapse.
Brussels bureaucrats have been criticised in particular for their slow response to the continent's worst migrant crisis since the 1940s.
Yet Hilary Benn, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, is expected to heap praise on the EU in a speech this afternoon.

In his speech, he will mock Eurosceptics for seeking to "close the doors and wish that the rest of the world would go away".
And he will argue exiting the EU would leave Britain less able to deal with the migrant crisis and climate change.
He is expected to add that being part of the bloc has "amplified, extended and increased Britain's voice in the world".

Organisational flaws: World T20 problems mount for India

NEW DELHI: Storm clouds were gathering Thursday over cricket's World T20, with organisers still to release tickets or confirm the venues, less than a month before the tournament begins in India.

But with question marks over the presence of the West Indies and New Delhi yet to receive clearance to host matches, fans who need to secure flights, hotels and even visas are still unable to firm up travel plans.
