(8a) 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.
(8.a) Tā kā šīs regulas mērķi, proti, kopīgu statistisko standartu izveidi, kas ļauj veidot saskaņotus datus, dalībvalstis apmierinošā veidā nevar sasniegt, tāpēc tie labāk sasniedzami Kopienas līmenī, Kopiena, atbilstīgi Līguma 5. pantā izklāstītajam subsidiaritātes principam, nosaka pasākumus.
