The Council of the European Union is the main EU’s legislative body. To deal with overwhelming amount of legislation, it created an organizational structure made up of working groups at the bottom, special senior committees in the middle and ministers at the top. Although many studies exist about the division of labour between them, little explains the conditions under which these formations play important role in decision-making. The study fills this lacuna. By implementing social constructivist approach, it investigates the impact of the Council’s structure on direct involvement of ministers in law-making. A statistical analysis is conducted to examine this question, based on legislative proposals endorsed in the Council during 2000-2004 period. Four findings emerge from the analysis. Firstly, formal aspects of decision-making, such as legislative procedure, voting rule and legal instrument, do not affect ministers activity. Secondly, no effect of preference divergence between ministers is identified. Thirdly, the substance of legislative act plays important role as salience and European Parliament amendments increase ministers involvement. Lastly, the Council formation to which ministers belong has impact on their great activity. It is likely in TTE Council whereas unlikely in AGRIFISH, JHA and ECOFIN Councils.

Preparations for the Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2011 are one of the priorities of Polish foreign policy. At the same time, the starting point for the choice of priorities of the Presidency will be the development of the European Union agenda. Moreover, the defined priorities should not only reflect the internal economic and social needs of the European Union, but should also take into account translating internal actions into responses to the challenges faced by Europe in the global arena. In this sense, the Polish Presidency faces particular challenges in the external policy field which involve the legal aspects following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, but also, and above all, the sensitive political decisions.
