On the invitation of the President of the European Council, the EU's heads of state or government will come together for an informal working dinner, essentially with a view to preparing the next European Council meeting scheduled for 28 and 29 June. Growth and jobs will be at the centre of their discussions.

Background

The European Council brings together the Heads of State or Government of all the EU Member States, i.e. Prime Ministers or Presidents, as well as the President of the European Council and the President of the Commission.

The European Council is convened twice every six months, typically in March, June, October and December. However, the President of the European Council can also convene extraordinary meetings. The last European Council was held on 1-2 March 2012.
