去年7月，欧盟与美国达成贸易协议，虽然暂时避免了关税冲突进一步升级，但实质上将欧企对美出口 面临的关税"底线"永久性抬高。欧洲智库欧洲改革中心首席经济学家桑德尔·托尔杜瓦尔说，美欧关税 战没有全面爆发，但美国仍在利用贸易条款系统性地抽走欧洲的工业资本，"持续的'低强度摩擦'比一 场突发的关税战对竞争力的侵蚀更隐蔽、更长久"。 新华社法兰克福1月31日电欧盟统计局1月30日公布的初步数据显示，2025年欧元区国内生产总值 （GDP）增长1.5%，欧盟GDP增长1.6%，略高于市场预期。市场分析人士认为，在全球地缘冲突不断 与贸易摩擦持续背景下，欧盟如何应对外部不确定性冲击和内部结构性挑战，挖掘经济长期增长潜力， 努力在成员国中消除分歧、形成有效合力，仍面临严峻考验。 "经济复苏相当疲弱" 数据显示，经季节调整后，去年第四季度欧元区和欧盟经济环比均增长0.3%，同比分别增长1.3%和 1.4%；欧盟主要经济体德国、法国、意大利分别环比增长0.3%、0.2%和0.3%。 西班牙和葡萄牙两国经济去年四季度均环比增长0.8%，成为拉动欧元区经济增长的主要引擎，而被誉 为欧洲经济"双引擎"的德国和法国则勉强实现正增长。其 ...
