In the third quarter, seasonally adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 0.2 per cent compared to the previous quarter in both the euro area and the EU, according to Eurostat.Dombrovskis said that in a difficult geopolitical context, the EU must urgently accelerate its transition towards cleaner energy and away from fossil fuels particularly those from Russia.The Commission also informed ministers on the US' new Inflation Reduction Act, and on its consequences for the EU.Czech Minister of Finance Zbynek Stanjura said it could have a negative economic impact on EU businesses and investors, especially in the technological sector.A trade war between the US and the EU must be avoided, while keeping a fair playing field in international trade, Stanjura said.French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire had said on Monday that the US law is a major threat to European companies, and predicted that the EU would come up with "a strong response"."I have not been assured that the American side has completely grasped how great our concerns about the consequences are," said German Finance Minister Christian Lindner.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
