Abstract

© Cambridge University Press 2014.The process of agencification at the European Union (EU) level started in 1975, when the first two European agencies were created, and has intensified in recent years. There are currently over thirty European agencies, exercising a variety of powers at the EU level, ranging from informational and management tasks to quasi-rule-making and decision-making powers. These agencies operate in, and often regulate, a multitude of policy fields such as food safety, pharmaceuticals, law enforcement, air safety, border control, telecommunications, financial supervision, etc., and have come to be regarded as a pervasive feature of the European executive order
