(5)

The Commission has developed statistics on energy consumption in households and discussed feasibility, production costs, confidentiality and reporting burden with the Member States.

 

(6)

Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

 

(7)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,
