Denmark most expensive in EU
The Danish newspaper Politiken writes that Denmark now is the most expensive country in the EU as far as consumer prices for goods and services is concerned! They write:
Statistics Denmark 2007 figures show Denmark to have the highest consumer prices for goods and services in the 27 European Union countries – 38 percent above the EU average.
Number two on the list is Ireland with 25 percent above the average. The lowest consumer prices among the old EU countries are to be found in Greece and Portugal where prices are 11-15 percent below the average.
The lowest prices are to be found in the new EU countries, with Bulgaria coming in at 53 percent below the EU average.
Denmark is also the most expensive country in the EU for foodstuffs and non-alcoholic beverages where Danish price levels are 43 percent above the EU average.
I am sure those numbers are correct. The only country in Europe more expensive than Denmark is Norway, which is not a member of the EU and thus not included in these statistics.
The odd piece of information, strange facts, comments on news, ranting and rambling. Kicks and licks. Fun, irony and sarcasm, often, though, with some serious intention.
I live and have lived in Europe and the US. I like both.
I’m nekkid, so no need to undress me. Don't bite me. I much prefer stroking.
