Det er selvfølgelig rigtigt, at lønomkostningerne i de østeuropæiske lande, i endnu højere grad i udviklingslandene, men også i visse lande inden for Den Europæiske Union, er betydeligt lavere end i et land som Belgien med en for høj social beskyttelse.
Naturally wage costs in the countries of Eastern Europe are significantly lower, even more so in developing countries but also in some countries of the European Union, than they are in a country like Belgium which has an exaggeratedly high level of social protection.
