Although the packaging and branding being identical, in some parts of Europe, people are sold food of lower quality than in other countries. In his "State of the Union" held on 13 September 2017 at the plenary session of the European Parliament, the EC Commission President announced that the EC Commission intends to present "Guidelines on dual quality of Products". This should help national consumer authorities make better use of existing EU consumer law to identify and address unjustified differences. Consumers from a number of EU countries have complained that the quality of some products is lower in their home country when compared to products by the same producer sold under the same brand across the border. Studies indeed show that on the EU market there are products with a seemingly similar brand, which are sold containing for example a different content of food in some member states than in others.
