Well most of these comparison are not done thoughtfully enough. And in the age of Internet everyone somehow expects pricing to be the same around the world.
Price + Import Tax + Sales Tax + Exchange Rate with Hedging + Additional Coverage ( Such as Legal Requirement for Fixing within certain time ).
That is basically the formula Apple use for their product pricing. Apple gets the benefits of having economy of scale. For many other products, you will need additional cost for Distribution for each country in Europe, Operation Handling, difference packaging for certain items. All these could easily add up to additional 10-20%. You now end up having a price that is 30 - 40% more expensive than US listed price.
