Since the objective of this Directive cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 TEU.
Ós rud é nach féidir leis na Ballstáit cuspóir na Treorach seo a ghnóthú go leordhóthanach agus, de bharr a fhairsinge agus a éifeachtaí, 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 CAE.
