- The exact Eurostat 2025 percentages for Germany and Spain were not retrieved in the available searches; the refutation rests on the fact that Germany is not among the top three EU countries and that the EU maximum in 2025 was Denmark at 42.0%, below the claimed 47%.
- The claim's wording 'fully adopted AI' differs from the Eurostat indicator ('enterprises using at least one AI technology', enterprises with 10+ employees); a figure near 47% is only plausible for a narrower universe such as large enterprises (EU average 55.0% in 2025), which the speaker does not specify.
- No source was found publishing the specific pairing 'Germany 47% / Spain 43%'; the figures may derive from non-harmonised national surveys (e.g. business-association surveys) rather than Eurostat, which would make them non-comparable across countries.
- France's own Eurostat share is not quantified here, so the relative gap asserted by the speaker is not independently measured.
- All statistics used are Eurostat releases of December 2025, i.e. available before the session date of 22 October 2026; no 2026 data existed at the time of the speech.
