In accordance with Article 193 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), this Regulation does not prevent Member States from maintaining or introducing more stringent protective measures, provided that such measures are compatible with the Treaties and the Commission has been notified thereof.
I gcomhréir le hAirteagal 193 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh (CFAE), níor cheart go gcuirfeadh an Rialachán seo cosc ar na Ballstáit bearta cosanta níos déine a thabhairt isteach ná a choinneáil, ar choinníoll go bhfuil na bearta sin i gcomhréir leis na Conarthaí agus go mbeidh fógra tugtha don Choimisiún ina leith.
