• or as a meeting of the ministers of a state as a plenary session of the government

International Councils of Ministers

• an organ of the former European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC or Coal and Steel Union) : the Council of Ministers of the Member States; he was the forerunner of the Council of the European Communities (later: Council of the European Union)
• the Council of the European Union (colloquially (EU) Council of Ministers)
• Franco-German Council of Ministers , meeting of the German and French governments

National Councils of Ministers

In many countries the term cabinet or government is used for all ministers. The position of the Council of Ministers fluctuates and can range from purely informal meetings within the government team to the formal head of state . Not all ministers have to take part in the Council of Ministers (sometimes only central ministries are represented), and other high management bodies can also be present, sometimes with voting rights, sometimes advising or observing. However, it is a professional duty for all ministers to take part in extraordinary assemblies which concern A: Internal European security or B: Relations between countries exclusive to the EU and one or more member states of the EU.
