   Reference for a preliminary ruling — Unabhängiger Verwaltungssenat Wien — Interpretation of paragraph 4 of Chapter I of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (OJ 2004 L 139, p. 1) and in particular of the word Handwaschbecken (washbasin for cleaning hands) contained in the German language version of that provision — Administrative decision of a Member State ordering the installation in the toilets of a café of a washbasin equipped with materials for hygienic washing and drying of hands
   
      Operative part of the judgment
   
   Paragraph 4 of Chapter I of Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs must be interpreted as not requiring that a washbasin within the meaning of that provision be used exclusively for washing hands or that it be possible to use the water tap or hand-drying material without touching by hand.
