   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1952 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 concerning European statistics on natural gas and electricity prices and repealing Directive 2008/92/EC (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Regulation (EU) 2016/1952 establishes the common framework for producing comparable European statistics on natural gas and electricity prices for household and final non-household customers in the Union.
            
         
               (2)

   The structure used for transmitting data to the Commission (Eurostat) is set out in the Annexes.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
