No.
Eurid's "statistics" on usage are not accurate and its "methodology" is not robust or reliable. The last "survey" I remember reading was a tiny survey of 5,000 domain names categorised by college students. I, on the other hand, ran a somewhat larger multi-million domain name survey on .EU ccTLD. Poland is an Eastern EU country as is the Czech republic. Basically the Eastern EU countries are the 2004 accession states and more recent additions.
This is from a recent statistical survey:

It was intended to be a replacement for the .COM in the European Union market. It failed because of poor legislation, poor rules, poor marketing and poor management. Zone file counts mean very little these days. Now to people who don't know how TLDs are used, 3M might seem to be a lot but when these figures are broken down over the component EU country markets, they represent less than 5% of the domain name footprints in each of those countries. As a .COM alternative, it should have been in the region of 15 to 30 million registrations. A significant number of UK .EU registrations are from cyberwarehousing holding companies that are owned by non-EU businesses. The .UK ccTLD has approximately 10.4 million registrations so that does put that 307K registrations into some perspective and it also has at least 3.8M gTLD registrations. With the Irish market, there are approximately 22K .EU registrations. There are approximately 237K .IE domain names registered and 168K COM/NET/ORG/BIZ/INFO domain names on Irish hosters. There's also about 5K NGT domain names and 33K .UK domain names in the Irish market. The Spanish and Swedish .EU counts have been stagnant for years. The German .EU count is in decline and has been for a few years now. The Austrian .EU count is high due to a drop catcher operation. It bounced between Austria and Gibraltar in 2016 and then back again in 2017.
