By my lights the EU seems really quite bad. Their pandemic response alone might be enough to make it go down as one of the worst institutions in history, and their general legal framework is one of the greatest blockers to economic growth in Europe.
Why exactly do you think that greater economic growth would lead to higher wellbeing in Europe ? From my understanding, in rich countries (US, UK, Germany, Australia), average subjective well being barely changed in the last decades, even if GDP greatly increased.

(However, environmental impact increased greatly in the same period, so this growth may have led to adverse consequences for other countries)
