<www.counsilium.europa.eu/showPage.asp?id=242&lang=en&mode=g> The Council is the main decision-making body of the EU. The ministers of the Member States meet within the Council... Depending on the issue on the agenda, each country will be represented by the minister responsible for that subject... The Council...passes laws, usually legislating jointly with the European Parliament... END of Excerpts. No currently posted agenda includes the EU Metric Directive.
