Ok, let's say that any title made in EU will suffice for every EU member. Still, for every 100 non-EU (basically, US) titles Netflix would need to get 50 EU titles. And I don't think that amount of movies/series/etc produced in US is only twice as big as in EU.

Netflix already offers only a fraction of its US titles in EU member states.

And you'd be surprised. The UK, France, and Germany combined already outproduce America in terms of movies [1] (quality may be a different story, of course).

I am indeed surprised, thanks for the link. So, it's definitely doable. But still, it will require investments just to keep existing entries available.
