Question referred

Does the fact of making the rate of taxation for pastry goods and cakes depend solely on the criterion of the ‘use-by date’ and the ‘best-before date’, as in the case of those goods in Article 41(2) of the Ustawa o podatku od towarów i usług (Law on tax on goods and services) of 11 March [2004] (Dziennik Ustaw of 2011, No 177, item 1054, as amended), in conjunction with Heading 32 of Annex 3 to that law, infringe the principle of VAT neutrality and the prohibition of unequal treatment of goods within the meaning of Article 98(1) and (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax? (1)
