Question:
Define the Council of Ministers in regards to the internal structure and organs.
Author: Bas DubbelmanAnswer:
The internal structure & organs: 1. The Council has developed committees to assist it --> Committee of Permanent Representative (also: Coreper) 2. Coreper has two parts: - Coreper II: represents the meeting of the ambassadors. It prepares Council configuration 1-4 - Coreper I: represents the meetings of ambassadors' deputies. It prepares the more technical Council configurations 5-10 3. Working parties (composed of national civil servants operation on instructions from national ministeries, support the Coreper in achieving this task. We can distinguish between: - A item: where Coreper reaches an agreement in advance - B item: where Coreper fails to agree in advance. Need to be expressly discussed by ministers in Council 4. Corepers merely prepare and facilitate formal devision-making in the Council
