42It must be borne in mind that, as regards the application of the reduced rate of VAT provided for in Article 98(1) and (2) of the VAT Directive, the Court has held that there is nothing in the text of that provision which requires that it be interpreted as meaning that that reduced rate must be applied to all aspects of a category of supply covered by Annex III to that directive. Accordingly, subject to compliance with the principle of fiscal neutrality inherent in the common system of VAT, Member States may apply a reduced rate of VAT to concrete and specific aspects of a category of supplies covered by Annex III to the VAT Directive (see, to that effect, judgments of 6 May 2010, Commission v France, C‑94/09, EU:C:2010:253, paragraphs 25 to 27; of 27 February 2014, Pro Med Logistik and Pongratz, C‑454/12 and C‑455/12, EU:C:2014:111, paragraphs 43 and 44; and of 11 September 2014, K, C‑219/13, EU:C:2014:2207, paragraph 23).
