I suspect that a lot of people don't know the chronology. They only recently learned about the commission(administrative arm) and think that it's a new thing when in reality it's their since the early 50s. The preamble of the Treaty of Rome(1957) makes it clear, not only it stipulates that the members are determined to lay the foundations for an ever-closer union but also mentions the ambition to develop and strengthen the union economically and socially.
The EU has never been a secret.
The sovereignty question is in any event a red herring, of interest to a handful of fanatics like Bill Cash. The referendum was won on the basis of (lies about) immigration.
