Aug 27, 2022 at 10:30 comment added kisspuska @MarkJohnson Any reasonable person aware a little of the EU's governance knows how the European Council works. That was not the question. The citations were the question. Veto power does exist, since unanimity is required where the council is to effectively ratify or assent to legislation passed by the Parliament. And I did look for it, couldn't find the specific EU law.
Aug 27, 2022 at 9:03 comment added Trish I fail to see how this is simple - the matter is very complex.
Aug 27, 2022 at 7:52 comment added phoog @terps8 indeed, and a responsive answer only has to point out those decisions that must be unanimous, citing the relevant treaty provisions.
Aug 27, 2022 at 7:28 comment added terps8 I don't see a problem with the question. There is an effective veto power where the treaties require unanimity in the Council, which is the case for certain enumerated decisions but not others.

Aug 27, 2022 at 4:51 comment added Mark Johnson Any previous research by the OP would have shown: a): that the European Council is composed mainly of the national leaders (heads of state [4] or government [23]) of the 27 member states ; b): a veto power, per se, doesn't exist (and where, then in the Council of Ministers). Vote to close due to lack of research.
