The Council of the European Union (often referred to simply as ‘the Council’) is a key EU decision-maker. It brings together the ministers of the 27 EU countries. The Council negotiates and adopts EU legislation and coordinates certain policies. It also:
• adopts the EU budget,
• concludes international agreements on behalf of the EU,
• develops the EU's foreign and security policy.

Twice a year, the Council of the European Union (EU) provides 5-month paid traineeships in Brussels for EU citizens. These traineeship programmes offer first-hand experience of how the Council and the EU work. Around 110 paid traineeship positions are available each year, in different areas (policy, law, administration, communications, IT, etc.).
