The European Union has three main elements to its government: the Council of the European Union, with ministers from each Member State; the European Commission, as the EU's day-to-day executive and administration; and the European Parliament directly elected by citizens.

These boards may be appointed by public officials, appointed by private entities, popularly elected, or elected by benefited citizens (typically property owners).
