EU agriculture ministers debating quality of food products

EU agriculture ministers are meeting in Brussels to debate the different quality of food products sold around the block. The meeting comes at Prague’s request and relates to the fact that the same brand products sold in supra-national chains are of a different quality in different EU member states. Other member states have also confirmed the same finding. The Czech consumers association has repeatedly criticized the fact that ketchup of a certain brand sold in the Czech Republic contains less tomatoes than the same product sold in Germany, that sausages contain less meat and jams less fruit. The arguments of the producers concerned that this is due to differing tastes around the block have been rejected as unacceptable.
