This is mostly wrong. It's true that EU member states don't have a separation of legislature and executive but so what? Separation of powers sounds great in theory but the benefits are grossly oversold.
One could technically argue that the ministry of foreign affairs has some legislative power by virtue of its role in negotiating treaties but it's a very misleading description. Treaties are Big Deals™ and require at the very least ratification by the Cabinet. This is one of the benefits of parliamentary government is that trying to do something appallingly stupid or unpopular can lead to an immediate change of government by a vote of no confidence. The closest equivalent for presidential systems is impeachment, which the US has never actually done, yes?
2) is just pure horseshit. Sovereignty is ultimately decided by men with guns and the EU doesn't have any. As a legal matter it's also horseshit but this comment is long enough for a phone already.
