Recital 75
Subsidiarity and Proportionality Unofficial title
Proposal (not yet law)
This is the text proposed by the European Commission on 17 September 2026 (COM(2026) 681 final, procedure 2026/0286(COD)). It has not been adopted and has no legal effect. The European Parliament and the Council may amend it, so the final wording and numbering may differ. Follow the procedure on EUR-Lex.
Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely to contribute to the proper functioning of the internal market and to ensure a high level of privacy, safety, and security of children cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States because they cannot achieve the necessary harmonisation and cooperation by acting alone, but can rather, by reason of territorial and personal scope, be better achieved at the 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. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
