Further information:

The European Commission on 6 November 2017 proposed a Council Decision on the Union's position regarding an amendment to Annex XXI (Statistics) to the EEA Agreement in order to incorporate Regulation (EU) 2016/792, which establishes a common framework for the development, production and dissemination of harmonised indices of consumer prices (HICPs) and of the house price index (HPI) at Union and national level.

Such indices are not established in Liechtenstein, which is therefore requesting to be exempted from applying this Regulation. Liechtenstein is currently exempted from collecting data in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 by virtue of an adaptation contained in Annex XXI to the EEA Agreement. Liechtenstein is therefore requesting this exemption to continue to apply as regards Regulation (EU) 2016/792.

The Council approved the proposal on 18 December 2017.
