The measuring of productivity by using GDP has no connection with working hours. Are we really meant to believe that Italy is around as productive as Germany? Bulgaria is half of the EU average with the same EU working rules. Based upon an 100 average for the EU27, the figures for 2019 range from Bulgaria 49.1 to Germany 103.7, Italy 104.9, right up to Ireland with 197.
How does that work?
