The Council of the European Union


The Council of the European Union is an institution of the European Union.
It forms together with the European Parliament the legislative part of the European Union and exercises its influence in a wide range of common powers with the European Parliament.
The Council is responsible for the common foreign and defence policy and the coordination of the economic policy of the member states. Together with the European Parliament it approves the budget of the Eurpean Union. The Council consists of a represantative of the government of each member state. This can be the foreign minister, the agricultural minister etc., depending on the subject matter which is to be considered at the meeting.

Depending on the importance of the decision to be taken an unianimous approval or a "qualifying majority" of the votes is necessary. The different member states have a different number of votes.

In the Nice treaty the voting powers of the member states have been rearranged.
