Deputy President: Anais Gallet
The European Council is the governing body of the European Union. Although it does not have any legislative power to enforce laws and policies, its power comes from the fact that the delegates/representative from each nation is the head of state of that nation. Decisions will be made based on mutual agreement/consensus, or approved majority. For a brief overview of this body, click here. The article in Wikipedia will help, too. The European Council acts as the collective presidency of the EU.

CONFERENCE PROCEDURES
It has been planned that the council will be run in a way similar to that of other comittees in the United Nations, especially the Security Council. However, in order to make the experience simulate and resemble that of an actual European Council meeting, there may be slight changes in the procedures; if there are changes, everyone will be notified well before the meeting.

Opening Speeches will be in the forums after opening ceremonies. Please have your speeches printed.
