"Ladies and gentlemen, in recent times the European Union has increasingly become a driving force in the creation of a new international order. This has particularly been the case since last year’s enlargement. The success of European integration means that the European political system is becoming more attractive to the people of countries beyond the Union. Certain US analysts are now referring to so-called European soft power and to the European dream that is coming true before our very eyes.
Terrorism, the spread of weapons of mass destruction, regional conflicts, the collapse of nations and organised crime all call for a global dimension in the Union’s external actions. In addition, they call for greater democratic accountability concerning those actions. To this end, we should be referring to the letter and the spirit of the Constitutional Treaty regarding matters with a bearing on the common foreign and security policy. The future European Foreign Service must play a crucial role in this area, assisting the European Union’s foreign ministers. As soon as the Constitutional Treaty comes into force, it will be essential to make every effort to invest the solidarity clause with real meaning as regards the defence matters provided for in the Treaty."@en1
