Council of Ministers
The Council consists of one minister for each member state.
It is the main decision-making body of the EU. The government
representatives in the Council are responsible to their own
national parliaments and to the citizens they represent. They
have the power to speak on behalf of their governments and to
enter into agreements.
Although there is just one Council, different groups of ministers
meet as particular topics are discussed. For example when the
European Union needs to make a law on agriculture, all of the
national agriculture ministers meet together in Brussels.
