32026R0697#rec_28Regulation (EU) 2026/697 of the European Parliament and of the Council

Recital (28)

Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to strengthen the cooperation between the enforcement authorities responsible for the enforcement of the prohibition of unfair trading practices under Directive (EU) 2019/633 in cross-border cases, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States because they cannot ensure cooperation and coordination by acting alone, but can rather, by reason of its territorial and personal scope, be better achieved at the 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 that objective.
