Statement: The subsidiarity principle requires EU decisions to be taken as closely as possible by the citizen.
Rationale:
The proportionality principle limits EU actions to what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Treaties.
Implications:
One of the implications of the principle is that at a national level, some measures should be put in place to ensure that the specific needs of a specific country are considered and planned within national interoperability frameworks.
