"I voted in favour of this report. The processes of globalisation carry a wide range of opportunities, challenges and threats for global governance. Global challenges, such as financial markets, energy security, combating poverty, climate change and human rights violations require joint and coordinated action. The Treaty of Lisbon, by introducing the Union’s legal personality, enhanced the EU’s capacity to join various international organisations and provided the opportunity to assume a stronger and more influential position globally. Hitherto, the representation of the EU and its Member States in international organisations has been fragmented, which has prevented the EU from speaking with a single voice in the international arena. The EU must become an influential global actor and be able to defend its position. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to enhance coordination within the EU, and this will require strong political will and flexibility on the part of the Member States concerning their representation."@en1
