Greater transparency on energy costs and prices, as well as on the level of public support, should be made available to improve market integration. The content of this Regulation does not imply any harmonisation of the structure of prices and charges across Member States.

Recital 22 a (new)
(22a) The Member States should compile the data by using the most appropriate sources and methods to provide the required information. The Union may therefore take action to this end in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity. Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the establishment of a common legal framework for the systematic production of European statistics on natural gas and electricity prices, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can rather, by reason of the scale and effects of this Regulation, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective.
