    Europe has government and agencies on the European scale.

    Since when? AFAIK there’s a European Union and then there’s Europe the continent. Lots of countries in Europe are not part of the union, and given the suffix of your instance you should be aware of this.

      I’m very aware that the EU doesn’t encompass all countries in Europe, but when reading a story where they ascribe a action to the continent I read the word Europe as a synonym for EU. It’s fairly common, especially in an American magazine.
