(18) Since the objectives of the action to be taken cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of scale and effects of action, 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.
(18) Tā kā īstenojamās rīcības mērķus nevar veiksmīgi sasniegt tikai atsevišķās dalībvalstīs, un tāpēc šīs rīcības mēroga un rezultāta dēļ tie ir veiksmīgāk sasniedzami Kopienas līmenī, Kopiena var paredzēt pasākumus saskaņā ar subsidiaritātes principu, kā noteikts Līguma 5. pantā.
