European Council 6/17/19


Today we are headed to the European Union Council building. First we had to get our security badges. Then we visited the information center.
The European Council is a collective body that defines the European Union's overall political direction and priorities. It comprises the heads of state or government of the EU member states, along with the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission.
















Getting ready to listen to the first speaker of the day.
Our afternoon speaker was Cecilia Malmstrom, the EU Commissioner for Trade. Exciting stuff!


Remodel of one of the meeting rooms.



Original building built in the 1920's.
