The German economy has narrowly avoided recession, growing by 0.1% in the third quarter of the year, figures show.
With the economy having shrunk 0.1% in the previous quarter, another negative figure would have implied a recession.
Germany's growth, together with stronger-than-expected expansion in France of 0.3%, helped the eurozone as a whole to grow by 0.2% in the quarter.
The figures from Eurostat also showed Greece's economy emerged from recession in the first quarter of the year.
Greece's economy grew by 0.8% in the first three months of the year, Eurostat said, followed by growth of 0.3% in the second quarter and 0.7% in the third.
However, the size of Greece's economy is still about a quarter below the peak it reached before the severe recession and debt crisis triggered by the global financial crash.
The eurozone figures also show Italy returned to recession after its economy contracted 0.1% in the third quarter - the 13th quarter in a row that it has failed to grow.
