Coreper is the Council's main preparatory body. All items to be included into the Council's agenda (except for some agricultural matters) must first be examined by Coreper, unless the Council decides otherwise.

It is not an EU decision-making body, and any agreement it reaches can be called into question by the Council, which alone has the power to make decisions.
