Using the same string to format a date:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT('2003-10-03',GET_FORMAT(DATE,'EUR'));
+--------------------------------------------------+
| DATE_FORMAT('2003-10-03',GET_FORMAT(DATE,'EUR')) |
+--------------------------------------------------+

+--------------------------------------------------+

SELECT STR_TO_DATE('10.31.2003',GET_FORMAT(DATE,'USA'));
+--------------------------------------------------+
| STR_TO_DATE('10.31.2003',GET_FORMAT(DATE,'USA')) |
+--------------------------------------------------+
