Ireland, Portugal Spain Greece Bulgaria Romania Italy et-al are in, or close to recession but ECB does not count them as legitimate EU members <GG> - external factors bringing about the inflationary pressures - well the ECB can care less - some times it is amazing how mindless and polarized CB can be - oh yes they care about the small consumer not to get hurt by inflation in his buying power - but they do not care if the same consumer looses his job and his buying power is ZERO with an ECB combating inflation Stupidity at it's best – so to all locals do not complain about the FED – across the Atlantic they are no better Wonder why at all we need Central Banker it seems overall they make more damage than help - better give the money wasted on their institution to the poor to be able to buy food even with external generated inflation

GERMANY DATA: Industrial production fell in April to -0.8%. GERMANY DATA: Industrial production fell unexpectedly in April to -0.8% on the month, marking the second deterioration in a row after March's downwardly revised dip (-0.8% from -0.5%), data released Friday by the Federal Economics Ministry show. April's decline left output 1.32% below the 1Q average, pointing to a loss of momentum after gains of 2.20% in 1Q and 0.65% in 4Q. The three-month moving average (February-April versus January-March) dropped to -0.50% from +0.25% in March. April's dip was due to declines in all major ategories, including a 0.7% drop in the key manufacturing sector. Construction output fell 2.9% after benefitting from the unseasonably mild weather conditions at the beginning of the year. Energy output dipped 1.7%, after five consecutive negative readings and a rebound in March. -- See MNI MainWire for more details. Provided by: Market News International
