FRANKFURT, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Eurostat, the European Union's statistics agency, will publish January inflation data on Feb 1 as scheduled, despite a delay in the publication of data from Germany, the 20-nation euro zone's biggest economy.


Eurostat said its euro zone flash reading on Wednesday would include an estimate for German inflation and final data, set to be published on Feb 23, would incorporate figures from Germany's Federal Statistical Office. The inflation figures will come just one day before the European Central Bank's Feb 2 policy meeting and are expected to be a crucial input in policy deliberations.
