According to Eurostat, the EU-27 racked up 11.558 trillion EUR in 2006, US
was about 10.550 trillion EUR, roughly a 10% difference. (Note this leaves
out Norway and Switzerland, heavily integrated into Eurocapital, which
generate another half trillion EUR of output, so it's more like a 15%
difference). You can download the charts and numbers from their "Economy
and Finance" section here:

Just click on "Gross Domestic Product at Market Prices". Lots of good data
on the site.
