EuropeanCouncil
Inception
In a memo dated August 1973, Jean Monnet called on the heads of government to create a ‘provisional European government’ The European Council was proposed by the then French president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing with Monnet’s support at the December summit in Paris in 1974
From Maastricht to LisbonThe treaty of Maastricht recognized the
European Council as an informal body of the heads of governments of member states which gave political direction and impetus to the EU.
Lisbonization legalized this basic function of the European Council and also granted it the status of being one of the 7 EU institutions while laying the groundwork (zeminini hazırlamak) for a detailed organizational structure.
