 The Council, which had been expanding into further buildings as it grew, consolidated once more in the Justus Lipsius building, and in 2002 it was agreed that the European Council should also be based in Brussels, having previously moved between different cities as the EU's Presidency rotated.From 2004 all Councils were meant to be held in Brussels; however, some extraordinary meetings are still held elsewhere.The reason for the move was in part due to the experience of the Belgian police in dealing with protesters and the fixed facilities in Brussels.
