The Council of Ministers, officially called the Ministerial Council (Greek: Yπουργικό Συμβούλιο), constitutes the Government of Romaia (Greek: Κυβέρνηση της Ρωμανίας). It is the main collective decision-making body of the government and the only one constitutionally recognized but ministers can also meet through other government bodies such as the Government Delegated Committees. The Delegated Committees are created by the Council and composed by ministers and secretaries of state which deal with minor issues that may affect more than one ministry.

The ministers are proposed by the Prime Minister and formally appointed by the Emperor. There is no requirement for the Prime Minister nor the ministers to be MPs. The ministers are the heads of a ministerial department and receive the title of "Minister". In addition to the ministers that are the head of a department, there may be ministers without portfolio, who are entrusted responsibility for certain government functions.
