As somebody who's built a company in Europe, I don't know what you're talking about. I suspect you don't, either.

Everything that the parent comment said I tend to agree, and I lived in Europe for a long time. One thing he left out, and which is also very important, is a high level of corruption. Your success is defined by a function who you know and not what you can actually do - EU funds being a prime example but even without them every day work is the same.
What was the jurisdiction ? France is among the most difficult countries for entrepreneurs in the EU (maybe the Germany too, with their written paperwork and rigidity).
In top of high taxes, there is a very adversarial administration and a philosophy of “I’ve told you, you should never have started this project”.
In the baltics it is easy for example, but your experience can vary a lot depending on the country as the EU business environment is not uniform.
