Recent news from Copenhagen Post:
- Maersk posts record profits. Shipping and oil conglomerate A.P. Moller-Maersk earned record profits of $5 billion after tax in 2010, the company announced today. The announcement caps what was a comeback year for Maersk. The company lost $1 billion in 2009 as global shipping volumes shrank due to the recession. Maersk credited the turnaround with improving global trade and improving efficiency.
- Petrol price to top 12 kr. Statoil announced today that it will raise its prices by 0.09 kroner. With the increase, a litre of unleaded 95 octane petrol will cost 12.09 kroner, marking the first time petrol passes the 12 kroner mark. The price of diesel will increase by 0.04 kroner, to 10.95 kroner per litre, its highest level since July 2008. The increase comes after unrest in Libya forced global oil prices up by 10 percent compared with a week ago. Experts said the increases could continue and that a per litre price of 15 kroner was not unthinkable if unrest continues.
- After losing a legal battle last week, the self-proclaimed freetown of Christiania will now be engaged in a political fight over its very existence.
- When all of the ingredients of a hot dog have a seal of approval as healthy foods, why can't the hot dog have one? Last week on Friday John Michael Jensen - also known as 'the healthy hotdog man' (den sunde p�lsemand in Danish) - invited the public to try healthy hot dogs for just ten kroner. It was also a demonstration against the 'keyhole' system, the Agricultural Ministry's mark of approval for healthy food."It's not fair that all the ingredients in the hot dog are keyhole-marked, but I can't get the mark for the hot dogs themselves," said Jensen.
