By Marius Zaharia LONDON (Reuters) - European shares rose close to seven-year highs on Tuesday as better than expected German retail sales further buoyed investors days before the European Central Bank kicks off a trillion-euro bond buying program. The gains follow a rise in Asia and another record day on the Wall Street . Euro zone government bond yields were slightly higher but remained near record lows as investors anticipated the ECB's purchases. German retail sales rose 2.9 percent month-on-month and 5.3 percent year-on-year in January, more than economists had forecast, helping lift Germany's DAX index 0.4 percent.
