The European Parliament does not have “population-proportional membership from each country”, but: “the seats are distributed according to “degressive proportionality”, i.e., the larger the state, the more citizens are represented per MEP. As a result, Maltese and Luxembourgish voters have roughly 10x more influence per voter than citizens of the six largest countries.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament)
The Council of the EU does not have “one vote per country”, but its rules usually prescribe a more complicated majority rule and sometimes unanimity.
A minor point regarding the EU’s institutions:

Thank you! Classic American mistake on my part to round these institutions to their closest US analogies.
