"Parliament’s approval paves the way for a more coherent and effective European foreign policy that better meets citizens’ expectations. A better service could have been possible, though.
We regret that Ms Ashton, the Commission and a number of national governments did not have the guts to embrace a more ambitious solution. We support the compromise because Parliament managed to improve Ms Ashton’s original proposal considerably. A strong human rights structure, safeguards for development policy and against renationalisation of Community policies, strengthened democratic scrutiny, a more transparent foreign affairs budget and gender balance in recruitment are cases in point.
The deal is not flawless, however. Its weak points include the unclearly defined crisis management structures, the lack of permanent deputies for Ms Ashton and the limited scope of the EEAS’s consular services to citizens. Much will now depend on how the compromise is implemented – the ball is therefore back in the court of Ms Ashton, the Member States and the Commission. They must work together, create a common
and overcome divisive competition."@en1
