The Council is made up of ministers from EU national governments who take turns holding the six-month Council Presidency. Which ministers attend meetings depends on the topic being discussed. The Council's main jobs are to pass EU laws, normally shared with the European Parliament, and adopt the EU budget. Decisions are made by majority vote, qualified majority, or unanimously depending on the subject. Qualified majority voting requires at least 255 of 347 votes in favor from a majority of member states representing 62% of the EU population.
