Another ill conceived example of EU food labelling regulations intending to make things easier but having the opposite effect.  A 'one size fits all' approach cannot work for the consumer across all food categories.  Recipes call for a number of large eggs rather than an amount in grammes and when buying a filling for sandwiches you want to know how many slices of ham in the pack.  
I'm not condoning the French but you have to quietly admire them.  If they disagree with an EU law  they just chose to ignore it, whereas in the UK we blindly follow and enforce it no matter how ludicrous it may be.
