"The external dimension of the European Union needs to be enhanced, since Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union promotes an international system based on stronger multilateral cooperation in which the Member States guarantee that the Union can assert their interests and values on the international scene. New permanent structures for the EU’s external representation have been established under the Treaty of Lisbon, but this new dimension does not yet allow the Union to participate as a single entity in its own right in the work of many international bodies. This is liable to harm the EU’s commitment to effective multilateralism, limiting its decisiveness and undermining its credibility.
Given the increase in political and humanitarian crises in the world, the EU needs to make the best possible use of its foreign policy instruments so as to ensure better use of its leverage in multilateral organisations and its ability to take the lead in addressing current and future international crises. The promotion of democracy and human rights, specifically women’s and children’s rights, freedom of expression and the rule of law, should be at the heart of all EU external action."@en1
