Author: Bas Dubbelman



Answer:

The system of decision-making/voting: 1. Council meetings are divided into two parts: dealing legislative and non-legislative activities 2. The Council meets in public, Commission will attend meeting, but is not entitled to vote 3. Two kinds of voting: - Unanimity voting - Requires consent of all national ministers; and - Is provided in Treaties for sensitive political questions - Majority voting - Simple majority: Council shall act by majority of its component members. This form is rare - Qualified majority (QMV): Constitutional default except where Treaties provide otherwise
