European Council

European Council
   At least once every six months there is a ‘summit meeting’ attended by the Prime Ministers/first ministers of all member countries of the European Union. These European Councils are held in the country holding the presidency of the EU at that time. They allow for discussion of broad issues and help to move the Union legislation on the basis of a proposal from the European Commission in the normal way.
