"I would first of all like to congratulate Elmar Brok for drafting this report. As the previous speaker also said, it is three decades since the US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, asked the question: ‘Who do I call if I want to call Europe?’ Creating the post of High Representative and an external service will allow the European Union to answer this question.
With these functions available, I believe that European diplomacy should be able to play a more active and decisive role in defending the EU’s basic interests, which also concerns energy security.
I welcome the fact that the High Representative and the heads of the diplomatic missions should engage in permanent dialogue with the European Parliament.
With regard to the deployment of staff as part of the external service, I believe that, apart from the fact that the relevant employees must have excellent knowledge and skills, consideration must also be given without fail to ensuring proper, proportional representation for Member States."@en1
