This is both factually incorrect and fundamentally misleading. Using the IMF's World Economic Outlook DB from the April 2018 I compiled this list of the top 50 countries by GDP Growth (PPP) for 2017 and each country's trade relationship with the EU.

They are Ireland, Romania, Malta, Slovenia and Estonia (Poland is in 51st position). Of the remaining 45, 19 are on the EU's Everything But Arms deal for Developing Countries meaning tariff-free exports for everything but guns. 10 are on the EU's GSP or GSP+ schemes.
