"Mr President, I am satisfied with the compromise that has been reached. The Council’s attempt to monopolise the European External Action Service (EEAS) has been defeated and the Community method remains intact, as is the case with budget rights and the control of the European Parliament. It is to be hoped that outstanding questions and shortcomings can be dealt with in the Financial and Staff Regulations.
I would like us to set ourselves the following challenge: we should exploit all the opportunities available to us in the area of foreign policy. We have fought for quite a lot over the last two parliamentary terms. My impression was that we did not always exploit these opportunities in full.
To this end, however, we shall have to keep a closer eye on all aspects of the Union’s external activities, which means that we, as foreign policy specialists, must occasionally descend from the captain’s bridge that is the committee to the engine room that is the External Action Service to deal with its structures, the situations it faces on the ground, its programmes, its budgetary provisions and its regulations for personnel. Only then will we actually fulfil our control and supervisory function correctly."@en1
