Recital 15

(15) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely to ease Union small- and middle-capitalisation companies’ access to capital markets and increase the coherence of Union listing rules, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the improvements and effects sought, 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 Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
