Cherry picking is the most overused expression on this site and is often used by people who just want to make gross generalisations and gloss over the details (This is not directed specifically at you Mafoo).
This is not a situation of one or two countries belying the trend, it's dichotomy between east and western Europe. It would be analogous to me saying there are high levels of gun violence in all parts of the US. Lumping Iowa and Louisiana together, you wouldn't be wrong in saying that they have a high average homicide rate, but of course it's an oversimplification as it fails to acknowledge that Louisiana's homicide rate is about ten times higher than Iowa. We can't argue that Iowa is the average but it shouldn't called cherry picking if someone points out that Iowa has in fact a very low homicide rate and that maybe it's a good thing that other states aspire to be as safe.
