Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
(15) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to facilitate the creation of Union- wide information products and services based on public sector documents, to ensure the effective cross-border use of public sector documents by private companies, focusing on small and medium enterprises, for added-value information products and services, and to limit distortions of competition on the Union market, cannot be sufficiently achieved by Member States and can therefore, in view of the intrinsic pan- European scope of the proposed 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 the Functioning of the European Union. In accordance with the principles of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
