You are getting it wrong buddy. Europe lost most of its significance in the world. They are not making any software, hardware and cars that are coming from Asia are now at par except for Germany. Europe has a strong dependency on fossils and these sources are becoming less certain. (ie: Russia and potentially the middle-east). Europe could just accept that and become a third-world bunch of countries.. or try something ambitious and actually move from fossil fuels. If Europe can pull this off, they might find their standing again in the world.
