BAKGRUNN (fra kommisjonsforordningen)
(1) Regulation (EU) 2016/792 lays down a common framework for the production of the harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP), the harmonised index of consumer prices at constant tax rates (HICP-CT), the owner-occupied housing price index and the house price index.
(2) Significantly changing the HICP and HICP-CT production methods may result in a permanent and significant shift, upwards or downwards, in the level of the index. This would in turn result in distorted annual rates of change for 1 year after the change is made. To ensure unbiased rates of change, it may be necessary to adjust the level of the index. Such an adjustment should be derived from observed prices.
(3) To ensure that the harmonised indices are comparable, uniform conditions are needed for the use of adjustments in the compilation of the HICP and the HICP-CT in the case of significant changes in production methods.
(4) The measures set out in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,
