The Council of the European Union (also known as Council of the EU, Council of Ministers or simply Council) is one of EPSO's client institutions to which they recruit EU officials. However, the Council has one of the smallest staff among EU institutions given the fact that it is the "hub" of national governments, therefore its own Secretariat employs a limited number of EU officials in its sectoral services, legal service, communication staff and other areas. The number of Council staff has been reduced due to the creation of the European External Action Service (EEAS) in December 2010.
