A number of specialised and decentralised European Union agencies have been established to support the EU Member States and their citizens. These agencies are an answer to a desire for geographical devolution and the need to cope with new tasks of a legal, technical and/or scientific nature.The EU’s agencies are grouped into four categories: Community agencies - Common Foreign and Security Policy agencies - Police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters agencies - Executive agencies.
