Når dagsordenen kræver det, kan hver af Det Europæiske Råds medlemmer beslutte at lade sig bistå af en minister og for Kommissionens formands vedkommende af et medlem af Kommissionen.  
When the agenda so requires, the members of the European Council may decide each to be assisted by a minister and, in the case of the President of the Commission, by a member of the Commission.
