Magazines from abroad still too expensive
People in Switzerland still have to pay too much for magazines from abroad. This was revealed by the French-speaking Swiss consumer organization Fédération romande des consommateurs (FRC).
In June, magazines from Germany were 49 percent more expensive in Switzerland than in their country of origin. The price difference for Austrian magazines was 41 percent, according to the FRC. In the case of magazines from France, the differences have narrowed somewhat since the surveys began in 2012. In 2012, the price difference was still 69%, at the beginning of 2013 it was still 57% and has since fallen by a further two percentage points. The biggest price differences can be found among magazines from Italy. The difference there is 124% and has even increased. The reason for this is a fall in prices in Italy, according to the report.
