- The trial may proceed with a mixture of shops and restaurants. The Association of Dutch Municipalities do not have to stop the pilot, takes the court in The Hague. The clothing which serves a customer a glass of wine, may continue to attend with them.

Officially mixtures of restaurants and shops under the Licensing and Catering Act prohibited. Municipalities, however, tolerate the mixture in the test.
