WTF are you talking about? This is about the Effort Sharing Regulation(ESR), which requires EU members to lower emissions compared to 2005 depending on how rich they are(richer countries need to do more). The UK is therefore not part of this at all, as it is no longer an EU member. Neither is Iceland btw.
Please read the article and not just the title. It is only about the EU and European is used like American is used for the US. Technically not true, but often used in more casual speech and by lower quality news sources.
The take from the title that Germany and Italy tops the statistic for Europe is still (partly) true. UK is still slightly worse than Italy.
By capita it’s Luxembourg, Estonia and Iceland, but only due to low population. Their totals are pretty far down the lists.

Title says Europe, not EU.
