Price disparity in Europe

Don't you feel like you're rolling in flour from time to time? Yes, isn't it.

Below is the European Community survey on price disparity in Europe. We will highlight in particular the disparity in prices on public transport. (Far too rare and expensive here)

and the worst price problem is not in this report

in the housing category, there is only the price of cement indicated only for poor countries ... except belgium, with a price double of the others ...

the prices are not too different according to the countries for the product whose sale is simple

for all that is materials of construction, industrial supply the trade is too complicated: no published price ... no protection of the consumer, since the prices between professional are entirely free!

this price anarchy between professionals costs the end consumer very dear

if the craftsmen of the building cannot buy the materials and supplies at normal prices and are defrauded by the trade, it is necessary well that they make it pay to the final consumer!

hence the prohibitive prices for ecological insulation and heating works

While we have very beautiful, very famous cement factories and magnificent limestone deposits.

and that, as explained to me 20 years ago, a student who did his master's TFE at the Obourg cement works on the impact of the various parameters on cost prices: "they are so well paid to burn chemical waste that the PR is ridiculous "

Now, you have to see: the bricos really take their customers for cash cows.
