Council 2017

Council

The Council of the PES meets every year, with the exception of years when a Congress is held.

The Council is a platform for the PES political family to come together to shape policy and set political priorities for the coming year, and beyond.

Hundreds of participants take part in the Council, including heads of government, European Commissioners, party leaders, delegates, international guests and – since 2006 – PES activists.
