"The European External Action Service (EEAS) that is being set up represents a completely new instrument for institutionalising the foreign policy of the European Union. At the moment, I see two basic problems associated with this process. First, it is clear that foreign and security policy constitutes part of the sovereignty of the Member States. When decisions are made on matters of principle, the power of veto still applies, and so, in the case of major decisions, such as the intervention in Iraq or the secession of Kosovo, there has been no European Union foreign policy in existence. The foreign service that has been created will therefore largely have a reduced agenda and, in the case of major political decisions, will only second the decisions of individual countries, or even be silent. The bone of contention is the composition of the diplomatic service, and the available information indicates that the role of the new Member States in the selection of this team has been disregarded, to put it mildly."@en1
