Community Agencies
Community agencies are distinctive from the governmental and judicial institutions. These
agencies are structured to address very specific tasks in specific fields. The community agencies
were appointed by acts of secondary legislation. For more on the history of the agencies, see
this page on
Europa, the official EU web site.
