Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to extend the programme to cover the period from 2018 to 2020, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, 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.
Ós rud é nach féidir leis na Ballstáit cuspóir an Rialacháin seo, is é sin, an clár a fhadú chun an tréimhse ó 2018 go 2020 a chumhdach, a ghnóthú go leordhóthanach ag na Ballstáit ach gur fearr, de bharr scála agus éifeachtaí an ghnímh, é a ghnóthú ar leibhéal an Aontais, féadfaidh an tAontas bearta a ghlacadh i gcomhréir le prionsabal na coimhdeachta mar a leagtar amach in Airteagal 5 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach.
