The eurozone has returned to recession as the region's debt crisis keeps on denting demand, latest official statistics show.
The economy of the 17-nation bloc contracted by 0.1% between July and September, after shrinking 0.2% in the previous three months, Eurostat said.
The eurozone was last in recession in 2009.
The German economy, Europe's largest, grew by 0.2% in the third quarter — slowing a little further, but performing slightly better than expected.

Greece has been in recession since late 2008 and has been granted two bailouts from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.
Eurozone ministers decided to give Greece two more years, until 2016, to meet its deficit-reduction targets, but delayed their final say on the latest EUR 31.5 B tranche of bailout funds.
The ministers meeting in Brussels earlier this year endorsed a proposal to extend from 2014 to 2016 a deadline for Greece to reduce its budget deficit, as demanded by international lenders.
The ministers will meet again to discuss releasing the latest tranche of bailout funds on 20 November.
