DECENTRALISED EU AGENCIES

Decentralised agencies carry out technical, scientific or managerial tasks that help the EU institutions make and implement policies.

They also support cooperation between the EU and national governments by pooling technical and specialist expertise from both the EU institutions and national authorities.

Decentralised agencies are set up for an indefinite period and are located across the EU.
