Premessa 170
Recital 170
(170) Minħabba li l-għan ta’ dan ir-Regolament, jiġifieri li jkun żgurat livell ugwali ta’ protezzjoni tal-persuni fiżiċi u l-fluss liberu ta’ data personali fl-Unjoni kollha, ma jistgħux jinkisbu b’mod suffiċjenti mill-Istati Membri u jistgħu pjuttost, minħabba l-iskala u l-effetti tal-azzjoni, jinkisbu aħjar fil-livell tal-Unjoni, l-Unjoni tista’ tadotta miżuri, f’konformità mal-prinċipju tas-sussidjarjetà kif stabbilit fl-Artikolu 5 tat-Trattat dwar l-Unjoni Ewropea (TUE).
F’konformità mal-prinċipju tal-proporzjonalità kif stabbilit f’dak l-Artikolu, dan ir- Regolament ma jmurx lil hinn minn dak li huwa meħtieġ sabiex jintlaħaq dak l-għan.
(170) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to ensure an equivalent level of protection of natural persons and the free flow of personal data throughout the Union, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can rather, by reason of the scale or effects of the action, 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 (TEU).
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 that objective.
