Composition

The Council of the European Union is composed of governmental representatives from each member state. For example, when the Council discusses agricultural policy, each member state sends the corresponding minister to represent their interests.

The Council is headed by a president. The presidency rotates automatically among member states every six months. The post is then held by that government's representative.

History

Powers

The Council nominates the commissioners of the European Commission (subject to approval by the European Parliament).
