TheEuropean Union andEuratom 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.^[1] They are a part of the wider set ofbodies 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 (theEuropean Central Bank) or as an EU body of another type (such as theEuropean Investment Bank Group entities, theEuropean University Institute, theEuropean Stability Mechanism or theUnified Patent Court)
otherEU institutions
other EU bodies lackingjuridical personality, including theadvisory 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,Societas Europaea,Societas Cooperativa Europaea) or lacking it (European economic interest grouping)
