- revelio 4y agoIt's a common problem amongst anyone who isn't an EU superfan because these organizations all have confusingly similar names. Council of Europe being different to the European Council is a popular source of thinkos, and none of it is helped by the way the EU routinely uses "Europe" to mean the EU institutions, not the continent.
