"Following the negotiations at the European Council of 29 and 30 October and the decision of the Czech Constitutional Court of 3 November, the President of the Czech Republic, Václav Klaus, has signed the Treaty of Lisbon.
The treaty will now be able to enter into force, providing the institutions with a High Representative for Foreign Affairs and with a stable President of the Council for two and a half years. The structure of the new Commission, like the choice of figures who will occupy the posts of President of the Council and High Representative for Foreign Affairs, are crucial.
The choice of President of the Council is crucial since it is he or she who will embody Europe for two and a half years. Moreover, at a time of globalisation and of power struggles between continents, the choice of High Representative for Foreign Affairs is of undeniable strategic importance.
On 19 November, an extraordinary European Council will meet to negotiate the nominations. We are at a turning point in European history. The choices that you make, Heads of State or Government, will determine the Europe that you want in the future. Therefore, be ambitious, because Europe must be dynamic, proactive, effective and political if we want it to continue to progress."@en1
