(13a) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the creation of common statistical standards that permit the production of harmonised data, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty.
(13a) Tā kā šīs regulas mērķi, proti, kopēju statistikas standartu izveidi, kas ļautu apkopot saskaņotus datus, atsevišķas dalībvalstis nevar pienācīgi sasniegt un tādējādi to var labāk sasniegt Kopienas līmenī, Kopiena var pieņemt pasākumus saskaņā ar EK Līguma 5. pantā paredzēto subsidiaritātes principu.
