In Germany, you can get a seat with less than 1%. In the last election, รDP got one with 0.6%. Not an expert on the electoral system, but I'd guess it's because Germany has more seats in the first place.
No, it's because there is no electoral threshold for EU elections in Germany. Every party with enough votes for a seat gets that seat (which is projected to be around 0.5% but depends on the total number of voters). Unfortunately, this is the last election without a threshold in Germany
