You mean, the added confusion with the Council of Europe as a third Council with Europe in its name?

Council of Europe: human rights watchdog and forum
Council of the European Union: the basic intergovernmental institution of the EU, consisting of the ministerial colleagues from national governments appropiate to a given issue
European Council: the body consisting of the heads of states/governments that branched out from the Council of the European Union's meeting in that constellation, and is to become an official institution with Lisbon

Re: Europe (none / 1)

Yes. They could have avoided "Council", as it was already used by the Council of Europe.

But does the problem exist in Hungarian, for instance?

Re: Europe (4.00 / 3)

In Hungarian, it's worse actually -- while the Council of the EU has a more sensible name, the other two differ in a single letter:

Európa Tanács
Miniszteri Tanács
Európai Tanács

...and it's worse in German than in English, too:

Europarat
Rat der Europäischen Union
Europäische Rat
