Andrea Ott, Ellen Vos and Florin Coman-Kund
This paper provides an overview and analysis of the growing presence of EU agencies on the international plane. These actions need to be analysed under the backdrop of international and European law but also in light of the agencies’ international mandate in the founding regulations.
