Specialized and independent powers

Edoardo Chiti

Chapter 24 in Research Handbook on European Constitutional Law, 2026, pp 438-452 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter discusses one specific type of EU specialized administrations, namely independent authorities. It considers the dynamic that has led to the rise of independent authorities in the EU polity and how they are designed in functional and organizational terms. The rise of EU independent authorities is then situated in the context of the EU constitutional architecture, by discussing whether EU independent authorities can be reconciled with the existing EU constitutional requirements about administration and whether they are functional to the objectives of the EU economic constitution.
