In deze instelling van de Europese Unie (kortweg 'de Raad van Ministers' of nog korter 'de Raad' genoemd) zijn de regeringen van de 27 lidstaten i van de EU vertegenwoordigd. De Raad oefent samen met het Europees Parlement i de wetgevings- en begrotingstaak uit. Dit houdt in dat de Raad zijn goedkeuring moet geven aan elk wetsvoorstel van de Europese Commissie i en aan elke voorgestelde EU-begroting. Nationale regeringen kunnen dus via de Raad invloed uitoefenen in de EU. De Raad neemt ook beslissingen over het buitenlands- en veiligheidsbeleid.
