The European Council consists of the heads of state or government and, since the
SEA, the President of the Commission. Some countries are constitutional monarchies,
others are republics. It is up to the Constitution of each member state to determine
its representation in the Council. As a rule monarchs do not participate since
they fulfil a ceremonial rather than political function. Their countries are represented
by the elected prime ministers. The presidents with the exception of the president of
France, are in the same position. The meetings are chaired by the head of state or
government of the country which holds the presidency of the Community.
