The Council (of the European Union) explained

This video is gives a short yet comprehensive introduction of the Council of the European Union. Among other things it covers the composition (0:20), voting systems (1:11), powers and tasks (3:05) of the Council.

For more information on the EU and its institutions please subscribe to our channel.

In this series we explain complex aspects of the EU in a comprehensive and understandable way. If however, despite our diligence and help of Dr. Jan Oster, we have left something out or made a mistake, please be so kind to tell and forgive us.

With Ciceroni we seek to be a guide to European culture and history. We make videos on little known subjects as well as more ubiquitous ones, ranging from current affairs like the European Union, to historic events like the Tulip Mania, and even mythological stories like those of the Greek Gods. In all these videos we strive to present the subjects in a objective manner and within their complex context.

Isn't it the European Council setting guidelines for CFSP? (instead of the council) Thanks!

The EU is a fascinating institution but very few videos talk about what it is and how it works. Luckily, I found this channel.

[nmnetwork]

Thank you for your videos! I can't wait for the others on your list!

Finally a channel I can show my British friends. They have no idea how the EU works because their media is shite but my English isn't good enough to explain it coherently.

It might surprise you to know that your videos inspired my fascination in government structure

[lazergurka-smerlin]

God why must the eu be so complicated?*


Probably national sovreignity, which I won't blame people for wanting

[davidus]

[maneavagyan]

Great videos savve my academic life :)

[cdbxuqy]

I like the ancient aesthetic. The organization really reminds me of learning about Rome at school

[EdgyNumber]

So basically, every member state has 'sovrintee' over the EU?

Honestly, wish this was available when I took my EU political science class 7 years ago

[limmeh]

I'm now curious as to what the European Council / Council of Europe is...since this council is a different council to those councils.

[balazsszabo]

1:22 That's double majority voting, not a qualified majority. Sidenote: Nice video!

[caivsklei]

Could someone please help me with this part:

"the council of ministers is comprised of 28 ministers, each from one of the 28 member states"
-
"Each member state has multiple ministers"

What do I miss here?

[tonysayegh]

This is a good video, but i have a question 😅
How the presidency of the council is chosen??
Why Belguim has the most number of the presidncy?

[ShahYT.Official]

So does any country that is not Europe or European Union can be involve at all? Because i saw like two minister of foreign affairs met one from Europe and one from middle east and having a talk in front of the press. So I guess that must be not about European Council, right? I think it's only about between two countries having a important discussion about whatever it it's that they have to sorted out and not with other countries or European Council, right?
