Spain, which only came out of recession in the first quarter with 0.1 percent growth, released figures showing its economy rose 0.2 percent in the second quarter.
Romania, which has implemented draconian spending cuts in order to grasp a 20 billion euro (US$25.7 billion) lifeline from the EU and the IMF, posted quarterly growth of 0.3 percent.
Romania had previously seen its GDP shrink for six quarters in a row, as it faced one of the worst recessions of any EU member state.
