Solution

The true statement is: "The European Council is comprised of the presidents and/or prime ministers of all the EU member countries."

Here's why:

  1. The European Council is indeed comprised of the heads of state or government of the EU member countries. They meet at least twice every six months to define the EU's overall political direction and priorities.

  2. The Council of the European Union, also known as the Council of Ministers, is not comprised of the presidents and/or prime ministers of all the EU member countries. Instead, it is composed of one representative from each EU country at ministerial level, who may commit the government of the member state in question to the actions agreed on in the meetings.

  3. The European Commission is not comprised of the presidents and/or prime ministers of all the EU member countries. It is actually composed of the College of Commissioners of 27 members, including the President and Vice-Presidents. The Commissioners, one from each EU country, are the Commission's political leadership during a 5-year term. They are proposed by the Council of the European Union and elected by the European Parliament.
