lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mrs Wallström, the Treaty of Lisbon’s ratification process is now over, and Heads of State or Government have elected Commissioner Catherine Ashton as the EU’s first Foreign Minister, although this is not her official title. The next task now will be to set up the European Union’s foreign service. There is one consideration which I think is important to bear in mind when setting up this service – and I am asking the Swedish Presidency, and Cecilia Malmström specifically, to ensure that attention is paid to this in the foreign service – which is that there is an extremely low level of representation of new Member States in the Directorates-General for External Relations and Enlargement. When national quotas are being assigned to Member States, consideration must be given to the fact that the new Member States are essentially barely represented in these two Directorates-General. Therefore, no discrimination should be applied because for the foreign service to gain credibility in people’s eyes, attention needs to be paid to this proportionality. It is very important for this proportionality and equal treatment to be implemented in the foreign service. This is in our common interest. I urge the European Commission and Council as well to look closely at this aspect. Out of the EU’s 143 external representations, there is only a single ambassador from a new Member State. This fact speaks for itself."@en1
