The government is convened for frequently scheduled meetings. When formally convened as such, the government is termed the Council of Ministers (Ladin: Cunsëi di Ministeres), which is equivalent to the word "cabinet". The Premier presides over cabinet meetings as primus inter pares without decisional authority, regardless of his right of proposal concerning the appointment of the government's members by the Speaker. The cabinet adopts resolutions in the presence of at least half of its members and, according to the ruling of the Tiroler Constitutional Court, unanimously – in particular the introduction of bills to the National Council. Each minister is also responsible for his or her own ministry, and may be supported by one or more secretaries of state, who also participate in the cabinet's meetings. State secretaries are not considered members of the government, and have no right to vote during cabinet meetings.
Once a year there is a Grand Council of the Government (Ladin: Cunsëi Gran dl Guviern), in which all eighteen ministers, and all eighteen senators meet in the cabinet room. Each minister will sit opposite the senator who chairs the committee for their ministry. The Grand Council is hailed by many anti-corruption organisations as a watershed moment for scrutiny in Tiroler politics.
