"Mr President, we need a proactive foreign policy, guided by our European common goals and based on our common values. This policy should recognise the indivisibility of security in the globalised world, this being a source of solidarity of interest, both within and outside the European Union.
Such a policy, aimed at increasing the European Union’s capacity for providing security to its citizens and improving its capacity to shape the global environment, not only to react to changes, requires an adequate institutional instrument – an efficient European External Action Service. We should not forget that this service is not a decision-making body. It is a Community instrument that will have to implement foreign policy and external action decisions and, before that, support and facilitate the decision-making process under the authority of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission, and in coordination with other relevant institutional actors.
Parliament’s main concerns were clearly expressed, ensuring political oversight and accountability of the service, including in its budgetary dimension. This, in turn, requires transparency in the functioning of the service and clarity through the presentation of a consolidated budget of the European Union External Action. In this way, the Parliament can check whether the means match the policy and ensure the policy’s effectiveness. This report and the agreement it stands for meet the abovementioned European Parliament demands. Moreover, a process of fine tuning and revision is provided for, so as to tackle, in due time, the unforeseen problems and deficiencies that may arise."@en1
