Why this option does not fit
Europarådet är ett EU-organ; Europeiska rådet är en egen organisation
This reverses the relationship: the European Council is the EU body.
Europarådet samlar ministrar; Europeiska rådet samlar EU:s domare
The European Council consists of political leaders, not judges. The Council of the EU is another, separate EU body.
Europarådet samlar nordiska länder; Europeiska rådet samlar alla FN-länder
The Council of Europe is not limited to the Nordic region. The European Council is an EU body, not a UN body.
