In 2004, OC&C announced its findings that a [[price war]] between [[supermarket]]s in [[The Netherlands]] had created an average discrepancy of 11% between prices in Dutch and Belgian supermarkets, but predicted that a similar price war would not take place in [[Belgium]] due to the limited scale of cross-border shopping.<ref>{{nl icon}} {{cite news
