Because EU agencies are designed to facilitate the implementation
of EU law at the national level, powers are increasingly conferred
on them in order to ensure that rules are enforced effectively and
uniformly. The time has come, however, to confront the many

responds to the vital as to the role and powers of agencies in
relation to their manifold 'principals', the EU institutions and the
Member States, and lays a firm foundation for managing the
challenges ahead.
