"Mr President, I should first like to thank Mr Brok and Mr Verhofstadt for having managed to assert Parliament’s rights in the area of foreign policy, using their unique political awareness.
I should particularly like to acknowledge all the efforts made to preserve unity of action in development cooperation policy. Keeping Commissioner Piebalgs and Commissioner Georgieva in their posts, with responsibility for cooperation and humanitarian aid respectively, remains the
for preserving EU institutional policy coherence in the areas concerned.
This does not mean that synergies should not be sought within the European External Action Service. On the contrary, it is essential to create such synergies, just as it is becoming essential to speak with one voice. What matters is that those who speak on behalf of the EU are not contradicted by Member States’ foreign ministers, not all of whom have perhaps yet understood the message. However, this requires a genuine EU foreign policy, and creating one is a major challenge. To begin with, we need to have one opinion on the major foreign policy issues, one opinion, not two opinions, on security, one opinion, not two opinions, on Turkey.
Rest assured, Baroness Ashton, that each of your successes will be applauded in this Chamber."@en1
