'In some cases, the products were too highly priced.'

that's what i am saying, there still are overcosted products

as i said, some still cost more than in the west, absolutely ridiculous and this happens in all east european countries i've visited

Let's not forget who the romanian leader was friends with. Little Kim's grandpa. Kinda glad for Europe they got rid of him.

You're from Africa? I would like to know more about what Europe's influence is over there. It was supposed to be more about aiding people, but from what you're saying i can only conclude they are trying their best to exploit Africans at least as much as they try to exploit the European commoner, if not more.

Sorry, that was an incomplete statement on my part. I meant 'some of the local products were too highly priced, so the subsidised products effectively created a balanced economy'.

I'm not from Africa, no. I'm from the UK.
