<P> The Presidency of the Council of Ministers, rotates among member states every six months, with a "Trio" formed by three consecutive Presidencies in order to provide more continuity to their conduct . However, the Foreign Affairs Council (one configuration of the Council of ministers), is no longer chaired by the representative of the member state holding the Presidency, but rather by the person holding the newly created post of High Representative . </P> <P> Additionally the Euro Group sub-unit of ECOFIN Eurozone countries was formalized . </P> <P> The European Council officially gains the status of an EU institution, thus being separated from the Council of ministers . It continues to be composed of the heads of state or government of the Union's member states along with the (nonvoting) President of the European Commission and its own president . </P> <P> The President of the European Council is appointed for a two and a half year term in a qualified majority vote of the European Council . A president can be reappointed once, and be removed by the same voting procedure . Unlike the post of President of the European Commission, the appointment of the President of the European Council does not have to reflect the composition of the European Parliament . The president's work involves coordinating the work of the European Council, hosting its meetings and reporting its activities to the European Parliament after each meeting . This makes the president the lynchpin of negotiations to find agreement at European Council meetings, which has become a more onerous task with successive enlargement of the EU to 28 Member States . The president also chairs informal summits of the 19 Member States which use the euro as their currency . Additionally, the president provides external representation to the Union on foreign policy and security matters when such representation is required at the level of heads of state or government (bilateral summits and G8 / G20). </P>
