Detailed explanation-1: -A blocking minority requires-in addition to not meeting one of the two conditions above-that at least 4 countries (or, if not all countries participate in the vote, the minimum number of countries representing more than 35% of the population of the participating countries, plus one country) vote against the proposal.
Detailed explanation-2: -Depending on the issue under discussion, the Council of the EU takes its decisions by: simple majority (14 member states vote in favour) qualified majority (55% of member states, representing at least 65% of the EU population, vote in favour) unanimous vote (all votes are in favour)
Detailed explanation-3: -A qualified majority is reached if two conditions are simultaneously met: 55% of member states vote in favour-in practice this means 15 out of 27. the proposal is supported by member states representing at least 65% of the total EU population.
