German term or phrase: Bruttoinlandsprodukt
I understand that Bruttoinlandsprodukt is gross domestic product, but can someone clarify the word in this context: "In einem Radius von nur 300 Kilometer rund um Köln werden 40 Prozent des gesamten Bruttoinlandsproduktes der Europäischen Union erwirtschaftet." Does this mean 40% of the EU or of Germany's share in the EU? What confuses me is "Inlands" Produkt.

Explanation:
that 40% of the EU's entire gross domestic product comes from (is produced by) the area in the 300-km radius around Cologne! That's a lot of factories ;-)

Not Germany's share in the GDP!

Explanation:
One is now considering Europe as a "Land", just as USA (many states making one "Land"). It's far to modern for me, but that's the thinking of the young!
