The commission has forecasted the collective economies of the 17-member euro zone to shrink by 0.4 percent, which is the first annual decline since the sovereign debt crisis began.
"The aggravation of the sovereign-debt crisis in the first half of the year, with rising market concerns about the long-term viability of the euro area and negative feedbacks between banks' funding pressures and economic activity, and to a lesser extent the unexpected slowdown in non-EU GDP growth and global trade, are the main reasons for the disappointing growth performance in 2012," the commission said.
