A European Union Secret Service?

Whilst searching for a thriller (whose title and author I have forgotten) written about the EU - although the EU is never mentioned by name -I came across the following. Some may have seen this before, however for those who have not...........

In 2009 a well-known business school academic and author based in Belgium wrote a thriller about high treason, murder, mayhem, fraud, weapon deals, political infliction and spies. ‘Shadows’ is a breath taking espionage thriller using the idea there would be a secret service of the EU. While the novel is claimed to be fictional within the last year more and more rumors came up that the author did not invent an EU Secret Service for his book, but did an excellent recherché about something which already exists for years. Fiction or Fact?

Various attempts to get a statement from the EU Institutions were never answered...
