Conseil de l'Union européenne

The Conseil de l'Union européenne, or Council of the European Union, is a key decision-making body within the European Union. It brings together government ministers from each member country, who meet to discuss, amend, and adopt laws, coordinate policies, and approve budgets. The Council represents the interests of member states at the governmental level and works alongside the European Parliament to shape EU legislation. Its decisions influence many aspects of daily life in Europe, from trade and environment to security and transportation, making it a central institution for the governance of the EU.
