EU bureaucrats can and often do leverage the bureaucrats of other nations or entities into doing their will. I suspect that pure number of bureaucrats is a very poor measure of bureaucratic power.

The city of Paris has 20 000 civil servants for 2 millions people. It’s right that the bureaucracy of Brussels is very weak.

Period. Even Germany has a majority against it now (a poll from yesterday). People feel good in their democratic nation states, they don't see the need for a "ever closer union". And they are right so. The bureaucratic monster called EU is a construction that undermines the democratic nation state. The constitution is dead, buried. Period.
