* Danish banks top EU list for state handouts. New figures from the European Commission put Denmark near the top of the list for propping up its banks with state support - a policy proscribed by the EU. The comparative numbers paint a picture of the nation's banks as being among the worst in the EU at weathering the economic crisis on their own, without bailouts from taxpayers, reports Ugebrevet A4.

* SAS loses 6 billion kroner Spanair. SAS has lost six billion kroner on airline Spanair after it filed for bankruptcy on Friday - 4.9 billion from its purchase and 1.4 billion from the bankruptcy. Spanair cancelled all of its flights after the bankruptcy declaration leaving thousands of passengers stranded over the weekend. SAS's losses in the company are not expected to affect the service of its own flights, however, but shareholders should expect the company to post a large deficit this year. Read more.
* Nations high consumer price levels set off debate. The Danish Chamber of Commerce says that an investigative report last week by freesheet 24timer is bogus. The paper ran a front page story alleging that a trolley full of groceries cost half as much in Sweden as it does in Denmark. The Chamber called the paper's conclusions "worthless". The 24timer analysis compared prices between Bilka in Denmark and the Swedish warehouse store Gek�s. "The prices they reported have nothing to do with actual price differences between Denmark and Sweden," Geert Laier Christensen, an analyst with the chamber, said. "They chose random goods from a very specific shop 200 kilometres from Copenhagen." Christensen said that a report from the Nielsen Institute shows that when measured over six months, the price for everyday groceries in Denmark is actually lower than in Sweden. Statistics from the European Union's Eurostat show that grocery prices in Denmark are not only higher than those in Sweden, they are the highest in the entire EU. Read more.
