Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely the establishment of the EES and the creation of common obligations, conditions and procedures for use of data cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the scale and impact 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 (TEU).
Ós rud é nach féidir leis na Ballstáit cuspóirí an Rialacháin seo, eadhon EES a bhunú agus oibleagáidí, coinníollacha agus nósanna imeachta coiteanna a cheapadh maidir le húsáid sonraí, a ghnóthú go leordhóthanach agus, de bharr fhairsinge agus thionchar na gníomhaíochta, gur fearr is féidir iad a ghnóthú ar leibhéal an Aontais, féadfaidh an tAontas bearta a ghlacadh, i gcomhréir le prionsabal na coimhdeachta a leagtar amach in Airteagal 5 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach (CAE).
