Summary/Abstract: The work focuses mainly on the functions of the European Council, after a brief review of its regulations in the treaties, its composition and organization, as well as on the functioning of the European Council. It also addresses the European Council's connection with the EU Council, mainly in order to underline the importance of the EU Council for Romania in the current period, when our country holds the presidency of the EU Council, for six months, starting with January 1st 2019, but also in order to avoid any confusion between the European Council and the EU Council.
