Not that many EU countries are outside the Eurozone, the UK being one of them.
In terms of trade, GDP is a meaningless figure. India #3 by total, but #126 by per person. You need people with the surplus money to buy things. Most of the population of India haven't got that.
Why should a trade agreement be all about power? That may be how the EU(ie France and Germany) wants to operate, but we want to be away from all that.
