Totally happy with European Community interference (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ecstatic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'totally happy' is the definition.
'ecstatic' can be an answer for 'happy' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'totally' bit.

'with european community interference' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'european community' becomes 'ec' (abbreviation).
'interference' becomes 'static' (static is a kind of interference).
'ec'+'static' is 'ECSTATIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ecstatic that I've seen before include "Transported by joy" , "elated" , "Overjoyed, quite delighted" , "Emotionally exalted" , "high!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
