    Representations in the European Union

    Representations of the member states

    The representations of the member states are to be distinguished from those of the non-member states. The meetings of the Council of the European Union are prepared in the Committee of Permanent Representatives of the Member States (Coreper) . It has a central role in the Community decision-making process, as it is both a forum for dialogue between the Permanent Representatives and between them and their governments and a political control body that guides and oversees the work of the expert groups.

    In addition, the representations of the regions (such as the observers of the Länder in the European Union ) and the Committee of the Regions only have observer status in the political system of the European Union .
