The Council of the European Union
The Council of the European Union is the EU’s main decision-making body. It is composed of national ministers from
the 27 EU Member States, which meet according to 10 Council configurations, each country being represented by the
minister in charge of a specific topic (foreign affairs, social affairs, education, transport, agriculture, etc.).
The Council’s openness and transparency policy consists of three aspects:
• public access to Council documents,
• publicity of the Council’s decision-making process, and
• information and communication activities.
EC Regulation No. 1049/2001 governs access to documents held by the EU institutions with the aim of ensuring their
widest possible circulation.
The Council of the European Union is assisted in its work by the General Secretariat, under the responsibility of its
Secretary General, Uwe Corsepius.
