that number is disproportionately low as most of the cost of enforcing areas that the EU now controls is attributed to national budgets: this makes the EU look a lot more efficient that it is in reality
e.g. the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is essentially an arm of the EU, but its costs are entirely borne by the UK government's budget
once you realise that 6% is only mostly the very top level of administration in Brussels, and little of the costs to implement policies at the national level: it starts to look a lot more expensive
