- other bodies of the EU established through primary legislation, either as international law bodies (the European Investment Bank Group entities, the European University Institute, the European Stability Mechanism and the Unified Patent Court) or as bodies without juridical personality (the European Ombudsman and the advisory bodies to the European Union);
- agencies, decentralised independent bodies and joint undertakings of the European Union and Euratom, established through secondary legislation with juridical personality;
- other bodies of the EU established through secondary legislation without juridical personality, such as the European Data Protection Supervisor; and
- inter-institutional services.
