Reitzle also says: * Power prices will continue to rise and Germany must retain exemptions for some companies from renewable energy subsidy payments to remain competitive * Liquidity provided by central banks to fight debt crisis may cause improper allocation of capital and ultimately result in inflation * NOTE Oct. 29: Linde Joins Raft of Euro Losers as It Trims Profit Forecast
