To this end, HICPs should additionally be calculated on the basis of constant tax rate prices instead of observed prices in the form of harmonised indices of consumer prices at constant tax rates (HICP-CT).\n(4)\nIn order to obtain reliable and comparable results from all Member States, a common methodological framework for the compilation of HICP-CT should be established and maintained.\n(5)\nThe principle of cost-effectiveness has been taken into account in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2494/95.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
