Also don’t confuse the European Councile with the Council of the European Union
The real trick comes in distinguishing between the European Council, the Council of the European Union, and the Council of Europe.
Bonus points for distinguishing between the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Justice, the latter being part of the former.
SPLITTER!
You know that someone is good at explaining when he tries to explain the EU to you and you are even more confused than before.
However the European Committee of the Regions has no legislative or other decision-making power. They are advisory bodies to the European Union.
The European Parliament on the other hand is one of the 7 institutions and a legislative body (together with the Council of the European Union).

PACE is in Strasbourg. The European Committee of the Regions is in Brussels. And the European Parliament flips between the two.
