European Union
Description
The Council of the European Union is an institution dependent on the European Union or European Union — EU —. It is made up of one representative from each State, with ministerial rank, empowered to exercise the right to vote.
The Council will exercise, together with the Parliament, the legislative and budgetary function.Among the possible actions that the Council can take, we find those related to the Common Foreign and Security Policy. This thematic area will be the one that includes the different restrictive measures and economic sanctions adopted by the European Union .
Sanctions are a tool that the European Union has to promote the objectives of the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Among these objectives, aligned with those of the United Nations, we find the safeguarding of European values as well as the rule of law and human rights; or the preservation of peace and the prevention of conflicts.
