Løntransparensdirektivet betragtning 63

English language version pr. 2026-10-06 tier 3 Direktiv (EU) 2023/970, CELEX 32023L0970

Since the objectives of this Directive, namely a better and more effective application of the principle of equal pay through the establishment of common minimum requirements which should apply to all undertakings and organisations across the Union, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of their scale and effects, 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, which limits itself to setting minimum standards, does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
