Wow, those percentages are really close. From your opening sentence it seemed like you were going to say something like 60% and 20%. Seems there's no point at all :)

The numbers have to be fairly close because they're in the same economic system. Furthermore, Sweden's numbers are included in the average as well.

You said you can't just ignore this either, yet there is nothing to glean from your supposed point. The numbers are far too close, and Europe far too diverse to infer anything. It's a waste of the 30 seconds of life of anyone who reads the post.
