(45) Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely, the establishment of compositional and information requirements for certain categories of food, the establishment of a Union list of substances that may be added to certain categories of food and the establishment of the rules for the update of the Union list, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale 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 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.
