From that article:

European restaurants generally add a ten percent gratuity to the bill.

I've lived in three different European countries, visited a ton more and I have never seen any percentage automatically getting added to bills. In fact, I haven't even seen anyone tipping based on a percentage. Based on my experience, when people tip it's usually some amount they feel like giving.
