Which of the following is not an EU institution?

1) The European Council

2) The Council of Europe

3) The Council of the European Union

4) The European Parliament

* The correct answer is  2) The Council of Europe: The Council of Europe (French: Conseil de l'Europe) is an international organization . It was founded in 1949, has 47 member states with some 800 million citizens, and is an entirely separate body^[1] from the European Union (EU), which has only 27 member states.  The two do however share certain symbols such as the flag and the anthem. The Council of Europe has nothing to do with either the Council of the European Union or the European Council,^[1] which are both EU bodies.
