Detailed rules on the information to be provided for the price survey for each of these categories are provided in the Annexes to that Regulation.

Examples of implicit adjustments are quantity-price calculations and estimates derived from the demand side using surveys of purchasers of goods and services.

In addition, the benchmarking of the price element (rent per stratum) should be carried out at least every five years, i.e., the usual periodicity for family budget surveys.

Examples of similar measures include export moderation, export-price or import-price monitoring systems, export or import surveillance, compulsory import cartels and discretionairy export or import licensing schemes, any of which afford protection.

When data are available, the degree of substitutability may be evaluated through customer preference surveys, analysis of purchasing patterns, estimation of the cross-price elasticities of the products involved(38), or diversion ratios(39).
