There is a wider sense of pan-celticism in Europe, but the movement itself is cultural rather than political, I can't tell you why. There's no european pan-celtic political party and I can only speculate as to the reasons for that.
I could speculate for example, that given the current political zeitgeist in the EU, a pan celtic political movement would be considered to be a form of ethno-nationalism, much like the kind that exists in Israel, and such a movement is not to be tolerated in "modern open minded Europe", that is to say, a Europe that is trying to create a "post nationalist" federation.
The pan celtic festival that occurs in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall and the Isle of Man might be worth a read:
The festival is a celebration of the cultural links between the Celtic nations of Éire, Alba, Cymru, Breizh, Kernow and Mannin.

I consider Bretons to be Celtic.
