No, definitely not that.
Did you miss the bit about the EU member countries electing their representatives?
Seriously, if you can't get the geopolitics right, perhaps best not to argue about them.

For example comparing one country to a random group of countries with wildly divergent numbers is an exercise in futility. Unless you believe the EU is a single entity of course.

Oh look - it's 10.9%, with France at 6.2% and Estonia at 24.1%. There are ten lower than us, the other 17 are equal or higher. Oddly enough, Germany and Austria are at the same level as the EU as a whole.
