Euro zone economic growth is likely to ease in the second half of this year after a better performance in the first quarter than official statistics suggest, according to a growth indicator produced for the Financial Times, FT Deutschland and Les Echos. The indicator, compiled by a consortium of European economic research institutes, estimates that year-on-year gross domestic product (G D P) growth will be 1 .8 per cent in the third quarter and 1 .7 per cent in the fourth.

The main surprise in the consortium's report came from its esti­mate of GDP growth in the first quarter of this year. According to Eurostat, the European Union's statistical agency, the 12-nation euro zone grew at a quarter-on-quarter rate of 0.3 per cent from January to March. But according to the consortium's indicator, growth in this period was substantially stronger.

Price support is a means of supporting the incomes of certain producers by administratively maintaining the prices of their products above market price. In many countries, price support systems are used specifically to assist the agricultural sector by ensuring an ade­quate level of total farm incomes. In the figure below, the equilibrium market price is OA.

If this price is considered too low to adequately remunerate farm­ers the government will set a support price, say OB, at which it is prepared to buy up any unsold output. At the support price of OB, the government is then committed to acquiring the unsold output of CF at a total cost equal to the shaded area CFGH. The main prob­lems with the price support method are that it penalizes consumers and results in waste fixed over-production. The price support method is used as the basis of the common agricultural policy of the European Union countries.

I. Translate into Russian:

Clusters is a term given to geographical areas in which a large number of companies working in the same industry' or sector have concentrated. They are a common feature of active and healthy economies.

Examples include Silicon Valley in California, the high-technology and biotechnology concerns around Cambridge in the UK, and the aerospace and engineering companies around Toulouse in France. Companies in a cluster are locked together in a kind of interdepend­ence, like organisms in a biosphere. They compete for market share, employees and resources. They also rely on each other. Acting together, they generate skills and knowledge of their particular sector that form a kind of critical mass on which all the members can draw. Clusters often begin with a single company: Silicon Valley's tech­nology cluster famously began with Hewlett-Packard. These success­ful companies generate talented managers and entrepreneurs, who in time leave to set up new concerns. As these grow, skilled employees begin to migrate between businesses, seeking the best opportunities.
