(19) The objectives of this Regulation, namely to support territories facing economic and social transformation in their sustainable transition to a climate-neutral economy, cannot be also sufficiently achieved by the Member States alone. The main reasons in this regard are, on the one hand, the disparities between the levels of development of the various territories and the backwardness of the least favoured territories, as well as the limit on the financial resources of the Member States and territories and, on the other hand, the need for a coherent implementation framework covering several Union funds under shared management, through regional banks to be decisive tools for financing a just ecological transition according to regional preferences and peculiarities. Since those objectives can better be achieved also 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,
