While the Europe s democratic prozess is pretty bad, I don't think they are imperialists. They might be tied to the US which now strives for imperalist expansion, but the eu does not show imperialist behavior, like trying to expand territory. At least not by definition.
The EU exports capital to super-exploit the global south for super-profits. The EU lives off of the labor of the global south.
Imperialism can take many forms, including neocolonialism, invasions of any kind, regime changes, etc. European powers are very much in bed with the US and actors in imperialism.
