| V4 Premiers Concerned About Global Increase in Prices of Food |
| Bratislava, 15.02.2011 |
|
| Bratislava, February 15 (TASR) - The premiers of the Visegrad Four countries (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland) are concerned about the global rise in food prices, raw materials and energy, which represent an enormous burden for people, according to a joint communiqué from the premiers presented by Slovak Prime Minister Iveta Radicova after the seven-nation summit on Tuesday.
The price problem can't be resolved at the level of individual countries, but must include the entire EU, concurred the leaders at the summit marking the 20th anniversary of this grouping. Therefore the European Council should discuss the issue at the next summit in March, said Radicova.
The Chancellors of Germany (Angela Merkel) and Austria (Werner Faymann), who joined the summit in the afternoon, expressed their concerns about the issue. "We believe that we'll find a solution for limitless speculative increase in prices," said Radicova.
The premiers of the V4, Germany, Austria and Ukraine further adopted a resolution on the current situation in Belarus, expressing concerns about the state of human rights there after the dubious presidential election in December, and called for Minsk to release all political prisoners.
