6In order to ensure that the European Union has comparable indices of consumer prices in the Member States, on 23 October 1995 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 concerning harmonised indices of consumer prices (OJ 1995 L 257, p. 1). That regulation, concerning harmonised indices of consumer prices (‘HICPs’), has been amended, inter alia, by Regulation (EC) No 596/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 adapting a number of instruments subject to the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty to Council Decision 1999/468/EC with regard to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny (OJ 2009 L 188, p. 14).
