  Accession Council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United Kingdom, the Accession Council is a ceremonial body which assembles on the death of a monarch to proclaim his or her successor king or queen and to receive an oath of loyalty from the new monarch.
The Council's Proclamation of Accession, which confirms the name of the heir, is signed by all the attendant Privy Counsellors.
The proclamation is not always worded consistently; for instance, on the accession of George VI, the proclamation had to be reworded because Edward VIII had abdicated, rather than died, and "Emperor of India" was added at the end of the list of titles until that title was relinquished by George VI.

 Fowling Up Russia's WTO Accession - Council on Foreign Relations
But the legislative calendar, the political influence of the fertilizer and poultry industries, and congressional Democrats' desire to retain some leverage of their own over the Russian WTO accession are likely to thwart President Bush's desire to deliver normal trade relations when he meets with Putin in late May. Nevertheless, the administration will persist.
To support Putin, the Bush administration and most of the U.S. business community are pushing Congress to eliminate the Jackson-Vanik amendment to the 1974 Trade Act, a provision that forces an annual review of Russia' strade benefits to ensure that Moscow permits Jews to emigrate.
Congress is right to demand a final review of Russia's WTO accession accord, either as part of granting Moscow normal trade relations or in a separate vote.
