Would it be possible to separate clearly, what are (1) the 'formal'(?) rules and what are (2) 'informal' or 'de facto' 'influences' or 'guidelines' or 'directions'? I am confused ๐

Yes ๐
So formal is, for example, paragraph 1 of article 15 of #TEU https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A12016M015 :
> The European Council shall provide the Union with the necessary impetus for its development and shall define the general political directions and priorities thereof. It shall not exercise legislative functions.
Shall I study the Treaties or is some concise description of the roles of the Union Bodies available?
@abolitionniste @pmroman @elCelio @HistoPol @nooartur @Veza85UE honestly the issue with being concise in the EU is that involves leaving things out, the treaties are the best place to look.
What is not written: the European Council is also where important issues that could not be resolved in the Council of the European Union are resolved.
In fact, some (me) consider the EC to simply be a special configuration of the Council of the EU
