An Assembly for Europe
"The story of the Council of Europe can be divided in two main periods, before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The first - which is the subject of this book - saw the Council's membership grow from 10 to 23, taking in nearly all the democracies in western Europe by the time Finland joined on 5 May 1989.

European Decision Making and Legislative Process: Council and the European Parliament
Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: B+, Diplomatic Academy of Vienna - School of International Studies, course: European Decision Making, language: English, abstract: QUESTION: To what extend can one say that Council and the European Parliament are on an equal footing in the legislative process?

The choice of procedure depends on the policy area of the proposal. Influence and power of Parliament and Council differ depending on the type of legislative procedure in use. There are cases in which the Council is dominant, for example in the decision on the directive on software patents , and areas in which the Parliament is dominant, such as the decision on stock storage of telecommunication data in 2005.
