European Council

The European Council, sometimes informally called the European Summit, is a meeting of the heads of state or government of the European Union, and the President of the European Commission (not to be confused with the Council of the European Union, or the Council of Europe). Established in 1974, two meetings were held annually, now on average four European Councils are held every year in which discussion is held on the matters of key issues and direction of the EU.
