	Module 4: The Institutional Terrain
		It is in the permanent representations that the bulk of the negotiations occur.
		In addition, it acts as a filter for the ministerial level; it attempts to reach consensus on as many issues as possible to ensure that only the most difficult and politically sensitive matters are passed to the ministers for discussion.
		COREPER is both unaccountable to the electorate and largely inaccessible to the public.

		This oversight is rash since, for example, it is the Coreper I officials who will put their minds to a working definition of which consumers should qualify for the next phase of energy liberalisation - a crucial decision for many European energy companies.
		While the commission is known for frantic horse-trading and the parliament struggles to be heard, the atmosphere at Coreper is akin to that of a gentleman's club.
		But many Coreper I officials have spent much of their careers working in their countries' more financially or commercially oriented ministries, so they are used to grappling with such obtuse subjects as how much a letter should weigh in a free market.

		However, it will have to share this responsibility with COREPER in so far as the preparation of subjects to be dealt with by the Council is concerned.
		COREPER's role is far from that of a letterbox for Political Committee decisions.
		In urgent cases, the Political Committee can still, after its conclusions have been transmitted via COREPER to the Council, convene a meeting before or at the same time as a Council meeting, and can address new recommendations to the Council, if this is deemed necessary due to new developments.

	Turks.US Daily News: Dispute Among EU Countries Surfaces on Political Criteria
		At a COREPER meeting on Wednesday, the ambassadors of seven countries raised their objections to the introduction of any political measures, said diplomatic sources, adding that they had reached an agreement to make no reference to political norms in the letter to Turkey.
		The next COREPER meeting will be held on Thursday when the same issue will once again be discussed in the light of a possible new proposal from Austria, the current holder of the rotating EU presidency, the diplomatic sources said.
		Should the next meeting once again end without a resolution on this issue, it would be unlikely that the chapters on education and culture would be open to actual negotiations during the Austrian term presidency, the sources indicated.

	The Council
		It may be true that most issues are not decided at this level—difficult issues are decided by the European Council and less difficult ones decided by COREPER and ratified by the Council of Ministers.
		It classifies issues into A or B points for the Council meetings: A points are those issues that are usually approved without discussion by the Council while B points are things that will actually be debated.
		The Permanent Representatives have a dual role—they represent the views of their national governments but they are also subject to the acculturation process that creates pressure for them to cooperate and find compromises.

	2004-12-15 EU Coreper paves way for adoption of Software Patent Agreement without Qualified Majority
		According to the Agenda of the 2632nd Environment Council meeting, the software patent agreement of 18th of May will be adopted as an uncontroversial item (A-item) Monday next week, see also Cons041217En.
		Several countries made unilateral statements in which they distance themselves from the proposal and point to the European Parliament as the bearer of their hopes.
		Since such informal agreements have no juridical value, one is free to change his/her position between the time that agreement was reached and the time that the issue appears on the agenda of the Council for formal approval.

	Commission of the European Communities v Council of the European Union. (Council) [1996] EUECJ C-25/94 (19 March 1996)
		An indication to that effect was sent to the FAO by the General Secretariat of the Council, in preparation for the 103rd FAO Council meeting in June 1993.
		At its meeting on 22 November 1993, the Council merely refused to overturn the Coreper decision but did not adopt an act within the meaning of Article 173 of the Treaty.
		28 It follows that Coreper could not adopt, on 21 October 1993, a decision on the right to vote and that the Council' s vote on 22 November 1993 cannot therefore be regarded as confirming a previous Coreper decision.
