:Agencies of the European Union

The European Union and Euratom have agencies, decentralised independent bodies, corporate bodies and joint undertakings which are established as juridical persons through secondary EU legislation and tasked with a specific narrow field of work.{{cite web|url=http://europa.eu/about-eu/agencies/index_en.htm|title=Agencies and other EU bodies – European Union – European Commission|last=Anonymous|date=5 July 2016|website=European Union|access-date=29 March 2014|archive-date=7 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230507081436/http://europa.eu/about-eu/agencies/index_en.htm|url-status=live}} They are a part of the wider set of bodies of the European Union and Euratom and are therefore distinct from:

international law juridical persons established through primary (treaty) legislation, either as an EU institution (the European Central Bank) or as an EU body of another type (such as the European Investment Bank Group entities, the European University Institute, the European Stability Mechanism or the Unified Patent Court)
other EU institutions
other EU bodies lacking juridical personality, including the advisory bodies, the independent offices held by a single person (European Ombudsman, European Data Protection Supervisor), and the (non-independent, auxiliary) EU inter-institutional services, regardless of whether established through treaty or through secondary legislation
the pan-EU organisational forms which are not considered constituent bodies of the EU or Euratom, regardless of whether possessing juridical personality (European Research Infrastructure Consortium, European political party, European political foundation, European grouping of territorial cooperation, {{lang|la|Societas Europaea}}, {{lang|la|Societas Cooperativa Europaea}}) or lacking it (European economic interest grouping)

Overview

In contrast to other EU bodies established through secondary legislation, each of more than fifty such entities has its own juridical personality granted by the EU law, recognised across the EU, and in some cases, also across the EEA countries, Switzerland, Serbia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and Turkey. Nevertheless, in relations with other non-EU third countries, they are in general not recognised as independent entities, thus being considered either parts of the juridical personality of the EU or Euratom.

Some of the agencies, decentralised independent bodies and joint undertakings of the European Union and Euratom are tasked with answering the need to develop scientific or technical know-how in certain fields, others bring together different interest groups to facilitate dialogue at European and international level.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

Existing agencies

They are divided into the following groups:

=Decentralised agencies of the EU=

Distinct from the EU institutions, the agencies of the European Union are specialist bodies set up to advise the Institutions and Member States in areas that affect everyone living in the Union.{{Cite web|url=https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/agencies/decentralised-agencies_en|title=Decentralised agencies|author=European Commission|author-link=European Commission|date=27 April 2018|publisher=Europa (web portal)|access-date=21 August 2018|archive-date=4 June 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230604205240/https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/agencies/decentralised-agencies_en|url-status=live}} They are located in member states across the EU, providing services, information, and know-how. The total budget of all the decentralised agencies is approximately 0.8% of the EU's annual budget.{{Citation|url=https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/c7cd29b7-3712-11e7-a08e-01aa75ed71a1/language-en/format-PDF|title=How do EU agencies and other bodies contribute to the Europe 2020 Strategy and to the Juncker Commission Agenda?|publisher=European Union|type=Report|date=November 2016|publication-date=11 May 2017|author=Deloitte|author-link=Deloitte|access-date=21 August 2018|archive-date=8 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220708222921/https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/c7cd29b7-3712-11e7-a08e-01aa75ed71a1/language-en/format-PDF|url-status=live}}
