Except for that large Nordstream 2 pipeline with Russia. Without that pipeline, Europe (or Germany) would collapse. Germany needs that pipe because it needs energy for the industry and maybe to some extent because it destroyed it own energy system earlier (e.g. closing nuclear powerstations). Yes, it is the only case where Europe did something that contradicted orders of the Big Brother. But it's similar to the the situation where one person tells another to jump of the cliff: if you jump off the cliff you're dead anyway, so most people would disobey in this situation even under heavy pressure.
