Russia is the only European country that is shrinking (population, not economy, as of now at least) , and Western Europe has had and still has steady and healthy growth.
Eastern Europe is on a rapid rise, especially Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland and a few other countries who are relatively fresh in the European Union.
All in all; Europe is growing, more markedly so than any continent save Asia right now, with slightly more stability due to external help from the EU.
