Luxembourg dismisses low loo tally
PARIS, March 8 (Reuters) -- Luxembourg on Thursday dismissed a report suggesting a dire shortage of toilets in one of the world's wealthiest countries.
"It's astonishing," Antoine Haag of Luxembourg's statistics office told Reuters when asked to explain why the country came top of a latrine-shortage list published in the report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
The Paris-based OECD, a free-market body with 30 mainly rich member countries, said the figure included in a broad review of living conditions, might be wide of the mark but that its data had been supplied by Luxembourg.
"We're looking at the figure. We believe that there may be something wrong with it," an OECD spokesman said.
Fourteen percent of homes in Luxembourg, a tiny state wedged between France and Germany, lacked a lavatory, according to the figures the OECD issued. Turkey came second and Poland third.
Haag, in charge of social statistics in Luxembourg, carried out a new calculation in response to the Reuters query and said he got a less embarrassing figure. Just 1,021 of 176,870 homes lacked an indoor, flushing toilet, or 0.6 percent, he said.
