You can get a quick and dirty answer by assuming all of each country's population is at its center of population.

Centers of population of each country: https://cs.baylor.edu/~hamerly/software/europe_population_we...

Country populations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_state_of_the_European_U...

If I've done the math correctly (and this was very quick and dirty) you get something like +0:40 / 10 degrees E, roughly the longitude of Hamburg or Milan. Ultimately there's gridded population data that could be used to get a better answer but I suspect it's in this neighborhood.
