ЧТО НОВОГО? /WHAT’S NEW?/Europe's Food Inflation 1/10th That of Russia - 26 May 2009.Russian food prices have soared in the last few months, outpacing the rise in European food prices by a factor of 10, the State Statistics Service reported Monday. Food prices increased by 5.8 percent from January to April of this year, nearly 10 times the 0.6 percent rise seen in the European Union. The biggest rises in the four-month period were seen in prices for fruit -- which spiked 17 percent in Russia while rising only 1.9 percent in Europe -- and sugar, jam, honey, chocolate and confectionery goods, which jumped by 12.7 percent and only 1.5 percent in Europe. Prices for vegetables in Russia shot up by 11.6 percent, fish and seafood became 9.4 percent more expensive and meat rose by 4.6 percent. Overall consumer price growth in Russia was 6.2 percent in the January-April period, compared with the 0.6 percent growth in consumer prices that the EU experienced. Analysts said the discrepancy in prices was the work of several factors, including weakness in the ruble during the early part of the year.

Rolf: I got them back at the airport, to have something to read on the way home. T: Yes, the two hours on the train could bore anyone to death. Have you got anything there for me?

R: Well, if you are in the mood for some actual news - politics, business, art or sports, I have some quality newspapers, like The Times, The Independent, and such. T: No, the day was serious enough, thanks. Have you got anything lighter? R: In that case I've got a fair selection of popular newspapers, maybe they will entertain you. T: Have you got The Sun?
