The remits of ECDC are complementary to those of some other EU agencies, e.g. the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) , the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC), and the European Environmental Agency (EEA).
Naloge ECDC dopolnjujejo naloge nekaterih drugih agencij EU, kot so Evropska agencija za varnost hrane (EFSA), Evropska agencija za zdravila (EMA), Evropski center za spremljanje drog in zasvojenosti z drogami (EMCDDA), Evropski center za spremljanje rasizma in ksenofobije (EUMC) in Evropska agencija za okolje (EEA).
