English term or phrase: Consejo Europeo o Consejo de Europa
Necesito saber cuál es el término oficial en español para "European Council". Me da la impresión de que "Consejo Europeo" y "Consejo de Europa" se utilizan indistintamente.

Gracias

Explanation:
Council of Europe :
An international organisation in Strasbourg which comprises 44 democratic countries of Europe.

European Council :
Regular meeting (at least twice a year) of the heads of state or government from the 15 member states of the European Union for the purpose of planning Union policy.

So the Council of Europe is the organisation itself, while the European Council refers to their meetings. I wonder is the same distinction made in Spanish?

Esta es la respuesta que me parece mejor, pues explica la diferencia entre Consejo de Europa y Consejo Europeo.

Yo encontré la siguiente definición (en un sitio de la UE):
"El Consejo Europeo está compuesto por los Jefes de Estado o de Gobierno de los quince Estados miembros de la Unión Europea y por el Presidente de la Comisión Europea. No debe confundirse con el Consejo de Europa (que es una organización internacional) ni con el Consejo de la Unión Europea. Desde esta página se puede acceder a una presentación del Consejo Europeo (encargar ejemplar)."

Tomado de una publicación oficial del Consejo, siguiendo la segunda referencia y buscando la versión en español.

2001 - 2005 / El Consejo de Europa, Siete caminos para el futuro
«2001 - 2005 / The Council of Europe, seven paths for future action» - Spanish version
Desde 1989, la historia de Europa se ha acelerado. La caída del muro de Berlín no fue sólo un seísmo político, sino que puso fin al siglo XX y abrió prematuramente las puertas del tercer milenio.

A partir de ese momento, Europa pudo prever su destino bajo el signo de la democracia a escala del continente. Pero muy pronto iba a descubrir los peligros, las antiguas fracturas y las nuevas tensiones que formarían parte de su nueva historia.

To try to clarify, an excerpt from part of the UN site:

The European Council brings together the Heads of State or Government of the fifteen Member States of the European Union and the President of the European Commission. It should not be confused with the Council of Europe (which is an international organisation) (http://www.coe.int/portalT.asp )or with the Council of the European Union (http://ue.eu.int/en/info/main.htm). From this page you will find a presentation of the European Council (order publication).

The European Council is hosted by and takes place in the Member State holding the Presidency of the Council, and punctuates the political life and development of the European Union by meeting at least twice a year (generally in June and December). It is an important event: the presence in a European city of fifteen representatives with unimpeachable democratic credentials, accompanied by other Ministers and close collaborators, has for twenty-five years been an eagerly awaited political event. The traditional \"family portrait\" of European leaders and many other photos showing the Heads of State or Government in action can be visualised and downloaded.

The decisions taken at the European Council meetings are a major impetus in defining the general political guidelines of the European Union. The Presidency conclusions are made public at the closing of a European Council meeting.
