The Council of the European Union, also known as the Council of Ministers, plays a key role in coordinating the economic policies of the member states, among other functions. It does not oversee treaty implementation, initiate overall policy (which is more the role of the European Commission), or represent the EU internationally (a role taken by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission).
