In Bulgaria, the prices were - 59% of the average level for the European Union, while in Ireland they were 146%.

The biggest difference is in alcoholic beverages and tobacco products, as the highest levels were recorded in Ireland with 216% more compared to the average for the EU, while in Bulgaria the level was minus 66%.
