Show answer and explanation
✓ El Consejo de Estado
The Consejo de Estado (the Council of State) is the highest advisory body of the Government: it gives its opinion on important matters, such as international treaties or bills, although the final decision is made by the Government. It is not a court and it is not part of Parliament. The European Parliament is an institution of the European Union, and the Tribunal Constitucional (the Constitutional Court) interprets the Constitution. Remember the key word: advisory equals Consejo de Estado.
