I've only ever heard the "other side of the pond" used in the context of comparing the US to Britain, rather than the rest of the EU, but there are no other EU nations save Ireland where English is the first language.  It also doesn't make much sense for say, Italy, where there isn't any coastline on the Atlantic to be opposite to the US.
