The European Council

What's the Council? The Council has two parts: the European Council and the Council of the European Union. The European Council is when all the EU countries' leaders meet, 3 to 4 times a year. They say what the EU should generally do.

The Council of the European Union or shortly the Council has to vote together with the European Parliament on laws. Who sits in the Council? The Ministers of the EU governments. For example, the Ministers responsible for the environment decide on the environmental laws.
