Was ist der Europäische Rat?
- Ein Beratungsgremium ohne Entscheidungsbefugnis
- Das Gremium der Staats- und Regierungschefs der EU-Mitgliedstaaten, das die allgemeinen politischen Leitlinien der EU festlegt
- Dasselbe wie der Rat der EU
- Das Parlament der Europäischen Union
Why this is the correct answer
The European Council brings together the heads of state or government of all EU member states, meeting typically four times per year in Brussels. Its role is to define the EU's strategic political direction and to resolve major issues that cannot be settled at the ministerial level in the Council of the EU. Austria's Federal Chancellor represents Austria in the European Council and participates in decisions on issues ranging from climate policy to enlargement negotiations.
