2. The set of renewable energy statistics may be modified in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 11(2).
3. The set of final energy consumption statistics shall be established and may be modified in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 11(2).
