The EU council is not like the senate. It's the council of the executives of the member states i.e. the meeting of the governments of the states, summit meetings happen between prime ministers and presidents.
Chat control though will definitely not make it to a summit meeting, and almost definitely does not warrant unanimity, it's probably a simple majority issue, i.e not foreign relations, defense, etc.
The European Council, i.e. the highest instance of the regular Council, is indeed like a senate in plenary, with the routine Council meetings being comparable to committees. This is not an original idea. I was just trying to simplify things because otherwise it is all extremely opaque.
Otherwise agreed.
