Dr. O'Connell Dr. O'Connell

34. Dr. O'Connell asked the Minister for Finance the rate of price inflation in each of the six present member countries of the EEC for the past 12 months; and how this compares with the rate in this country.

Mr. Colley Mr. Colley

Mr. Colley: The consumer price indices for member-countries of the EEC increased as follows in the 12 months ended September, 1972, the latest date for which I have information: —

Netherlands	7.2 per cent
France	6.3 per cent
Italy	6.3 per cent
Germany	6.2 per cent
Luxembourg	5.9 per cent
Belgium	5.4 per cent

The nearest corresponding figure for Ireland is the 8.9 per cent increase registered in the consumer price index in the 12 months ended mid-August, 1972.
