Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to define the modalities for reaching the 2020 target to reduce CO2 emissions from new light commercial vehicles, 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 of the Treaty on European Union.
Ós rud é nach féidir leis na Ballstáit cuspóir an Rialacháin seo, eadhon sainmhíniú a dhéanamh ar na rialacha mionsonraithe i dtaca le sprioc 2020 maidir le hastaíochtaí CO2 ó fheithiclí tráchtála éadroma nua, a bhaint amach go leordhóthanach ach gur fearr, de bharr a fhairsinge agus a iarmhairtí, is féidir é a bhaint amach ar leibhéal an Aontais, féadfaidh an tAontas bearta a ghlacadh, i gcomhréir le prionsabal na coimhdeachta, mar a leagtar amach é in Airteagal 5 den Chonradh ar an Aontas Eorpach.
