    This looks like a very good thing, actually!

    It means that costs of living, and, hopefully without a very big delay, also the income, are getting closer to one standard level around the EU.

    This looks like the gap between “eastern block” and “western European countries” as they were in 1980’s is being bridged.

    Only NL worries me here. What the hell is going on over there?!

      in hungary we are very much feeling that the cost of everything is nearing costs in western countries, but the wages are largely staying the same, not even being properly corrected for inflation
