Because carbon emissions are measured at their output. So if european shoe/clothing manufacturers move to china, pollute in china and sell the products back in europe, that pollution would be credited to china when in actuality, the pollution was created for european consumption.
The easiest way to tell is by how large the consumer market is. Europe is the largest consumer market in the world. EU + the non-EU european states.

Europe is an 800+ million people market with first world living standards. In the US, we probably slightly out-pollute europe on a per capita basis since our standard of living is slightly higher than europe overall, but since europe has 500 million more people than the US, I can safely say that collectively, europe outpollutes every major country/bloc in the world.
Do you think the clothes europeans wear, the electronics europeans use, etc all were created by a green energy fairy?
