Per this list it is. I think it's Germany that has less involvement, UK and France are the key European members.

Carth and I have harped on about this for a bit. But look at a bar of chocolate from the Co-op or a ready meal from there as the Co-op is good at disclosing this data. Ingredients from all across the world. Made in the UK sometimes but the ingredients are global and most manufacturers do not disclose their origin and probably don't know them either.

And as for buying a car, again global sourcing so plenty of EU content in them. And even British car brands like Vauxhall (mostly EU), Jaguar (Some Austrian), Land Rover (Some Slovakian), MG (China, Thailand) and MINI (Some German and Dutch) are not all assembled here.
