Council of Ministers. Hence, the Council of Ministers is the most important decision-making

body. In most areas, there has to be a unanimous vote for a policy to be approved. However, in some

areas, only a majority vote is needed.

The European Parliament, based in Strasbourg, is made up of elected representatives (MEPs)

from the member states. The European Parliament is a relatively weak body: Until recently, it had
