Abstract: We shall analyse throughout this article the structure and mechanisms of the Council of Europe, European Council and Council of the European Union, the goal being identifying the characteristics and distinctions between these entities, given their statutes and different roles, without claiming we hereby exhaust this subject, not infrequently brought to public communication space. The first and most important distinction between the Council of Europe, on the one hand and the European Council and the Council of the European Union, on the other hand, is that, while the Council of Europe is an international organisation, the European Council and Council of the European Union are EU institutions in turn considered to be an international super-state organisation with a sui generis construction. As citizens of Romania, a member of both the Council of Europe and of the European Union, we have the right and duty to know the meaning of these terms, to understand correctly messages on the subject addressed to public opinion, but also to be able to adequately express ourselves in the internal, European or international public space, as appropriate.
