Recital 56

(56) Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely to prevent additional fluorinated greenhouse gas emissions, thereby contributing to Union climate objectives, and to ensure compliance with the Protocol as regards obligations related to hydrofluorocarbons, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the transboundary nature of the environmental problem addressed and the effects of this Regulation on the intra-Union and external trade, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 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 those objectives.
