===Resolutions===
Council resolutions have no legal effect. Usually the council's intention is to set out future work foreseen in a specific policy area or to invite action by the commission. If a resolution covers a policy area which is not entirely within an area of EU competency, the resolution will be issued as a "resolution of the Council and the representatives of the governments of the member states".<ref>General Secretariat of the Council, [https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/council-eu/conclusions-resolutions/ Council conclusions and resolutions], updated 3 December 2020, accessed 29 January 2021</ref> Examples are the Council Resolution of 26 September 1989 on the development of [[subcontracting]] in the Community<ref>EUR-Lex, [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A31989Y1007%2801%29&qid=1611899591264 Council Resolution of 26 September 1989 on the development of subcontracting in the Community], 89/C 254/01, accessed 29 January 2021</ref> and the Council Resolution of 26 November 2001 on [[consumer credit]] and indebtedness.<ref>EUR-Lex, [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32001G1220%2801%29&qid=1611898704353 Council Resolution of 26 November 2001 on consumer credit and indebtedness], 2001/C 364/01, accessed 29 January 2021</ref>
