Chain-linked volume series (which E218 uses) can suffer from "drift" over long periods. Frequent rebasing (every 5-10 years) mitigates this but introduces breaks in comparability before and after the rebase year.
import eurostat # Get the table of quarterly national accounts df = eurostat.get_data_df('namq_10_gdp') # Filter for GDP E218 (check specific filters for your country) # Typically: unit = 'MIO_NAC', s_adj = 'SCA', na_item = 'B1GQ' (GDP)
