"The Council has not had the opportunity for concrete discussions on a proposed international peace commission. I cannot therefore answer your question on the Council’s behalf at this time.
However, let me stress that I believe there is a need for innovative ideas to break the deadlock in the conflict which I have tried to describe in my answer. As I said, the Council has not adopted a stance on whether an international peace commission could be such a solution, but I promise to put forward the idea to the Council for further discussion.
I would like to emphasise that there has so far been widespread agreement in the Council that the most effective way for the EU to help improve the situation in Afghanistan is to fully back the efforts of the UN. The EU’s approach must be to contribute to international coordination. In many cases, the EU can and should act unilaterally, but in a situation such as that in Afghanistan coordination is required with others who are like-minded, in which case the UN is the best forum. Therefore, I believe that we must focus our initiatives on this particular approach."@en1
