The Irish are at the top, followed by the Dutch, Spanish, Maltese, Australian, Brits, Czechs, Greeks, New Zealanders, Portugese, Italians, Hungarians and Germans in that order. I've ignored Albania, Romania, Egypt, Turkey and India because they're clearly enough less wealthy than the EU core that the tariffs must be lower there.
Silent Germans and garrulous Irish are to be expected by the standard prejudices, but I'm surprised how talkative the Dutch are and how quiet the Italians.
