It is demonstrated that the "soft pomeron" (together with a secondary
reggeon) describing cross-sections of hadron-hadron collisions is fairly able
to describe the energy dependence of cross-sections of exclusive (virtual)
photoproduction of vector mesons $(\rho^0, \phi, J/\psi)$ obtained at HERA.
However these poles are insufficient for description of the total DIS
cross-section.
