Council vs European Council: What’s the Difference?

Описание: Two councils. Almost the same name. Completely different jobs.
If you’ve ever wondered what the European Council actually does — and how it’s different from the Council of the EU — you’re not alone.
Here’s the simple breakdown:
● The European Council = EU leaders. They deal with the big-picture stuff: climate goals, major crises, long-term strategy.
● The Council of the EU = national ministers. They negotiate and adopt EU laws. This is where the technical details get hammered out and voted on.
One sets the goals. The other turns them into action.
In this video, we explain how they work together, who leads each one and why understanding the difference between them actually matters.
