If I understood well, the US require 50% less cocoa solid for dark chocolate and 80% less for milk chocolate than the EU?

The US have a % requirement on “chocolate liquor”, which is roughly 50% cocoa solid and 50% cocoa butter so it seems the numbers should be divided by 2.

That would give in term of cocoa solid content:
- Dark Chocolate: 35% for the EU vs 17.5% for the US
- Milk Chocolate : 25% for the EU vs 5% for the US

With the definition of white chocolate being pretty similar.

Is my understanding correct?

“The 1978 World Cup held in Argentina and was the first time that the nation we now consider stellar opponents won the tournament. Argentina became the fifth team (after Uruguay, Italy, England and West Germany) to be hosting the tournament whilst also being crowned as champions of the world.  

However, this 1978 edition of the tournament was marred by controversy, hostile domestic and international politics and alleged interference and match-fixing. Argentina was chosen to host the 1978 edition of the tournament in London in 1966, when the hosts for 1974 and 1982 were also chosen.

Unfortunately, two years before the tournament came to Argentina for the first time, the nation had undergone a military coup of its democratic government.

The dictatorship known as the National Reorganisation Process took power and planned to use the 1978 World Cup as an opportunity for nationalistic propaganda and, largely, to seek legitimacy on the world stage.”
