It would be nice to have some information on how this was defined and measured but I don't doubt the findings. In Western Europe three of the countries that have fared the worst in the recession - Greece, Portugal and Italy come out badly. The rest are in Eastern Europe plus Turkey where we all know energy costs relative to average wage are horrendous.

It's probably cost £000's to put that survey together.
