Is the price the same? Nescafé in France tastes very different to that in the UK, just like American Nutella has more sugar and fewer hazelnuts than the Italian version, for instance (my sister has travelled to the US and she noticed that, she said it tastes awful). I don't think it is racism but variety according to local preferences in the main.

You just can't serve inferior coffee to an Italian. Your taste buds just notice it more readily.
And I am of course 'well-sourced' on the subject: https://youtu.be/ZAJNFoHuLno?t=3m36s

It is not about local preferences, it is just made from worse row materials (eg. palma oil x coconut oil), it contains a lower proportion of meat and more fat, etc. The same goes eg for detergents.
And even without it it is ridiculous to say we have a different taste than Austrians - we share the same cousin because of our common history, our traditional food is the same as Austrian traditional food.

These companies have made commercial decisions to offer products at a certain price point, aimed at a certain level of consumer, and of a certain quality while maintaining a sales volume and profit target. If that means the quality has to differ from more affluent countries, they have the right to make that decision.
To maintain equal quality with western Europe would mean either higher prices for consumers or lower profits. Why should the corporations sacrifice profit to subsidize poorer people? Do Czechs want to pay 25% more for their food? Can they even afford it? The businesses must have calculated that they would lose money if they took that path.
In the EU, all men are created equal, but some are more equal than others. What a giant mess the whole thing has become.

Are they really,because we eat them and are still better looking.
Europe's best models come from the East.

First of all we need EU regulations. The European guarantee of the same quality.
As for local products. The main role in that play multinational groceries; local producers are often not strong enough to could offer their products there, and small shops with local products are not able to compete them.
