Economic and Finance Affairs Council (ECOFIN)
The Economic and Finance Affairs Council (ECOFIN) council is composed of the Economics and Finance Ministers of the member states, as well as Budget Ministers when budgetary issues are discussed. It meets once a month. There is also an informal body - made up of eurozone finance ministers - known as the Eurogroup, which generally meets on the eve of ECOFIN meetings. It is a coordinating body, and takes no formal decisions.
