"The report by Elmar Brok and Guy Verhofstadt on the functioning of the European External Action Service (EEAS) is a compromise and, like every compromise, it has both positive and negative aspects. We consider the main positive aspect to be the fact that the EEAS will be accountable to the European Parliament as far as political and budgetary control is concerned. However, this Parliamentary supervision should be strengthened further to take sufficient account of the position of national parliaments, especially concerning the foreign policy and security priorities which the EEAS will assert on behalf of the entire European Union.
As far as practical functioning is concerned, it is a pity that the report does not include the opinion of the European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade, which was unanimously supported in committee by fellow Members from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe. The essence of this opinion was a clarification of powers in relation to the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Trade, conforming to the definition under Articles 207 and 218 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union."@en1
