"With the building of the European External Action Service, it has become obvious that parliamentary monitoring will also extend to that. Parliament has had a major role to play throughout the process. The EU now has structures, but no viable foreign policy. The old saying holds true: the EU is a dwarf when it comes to foreign policy. It has no visible influence. Next we need results.
The EU’s External Action budget is tiny compared to its other items of expenditure. The EU budget should not be increased as a result of more bureaucracy, and especially not in times of crisis, even if the small amounts set aside in certain parts of the External Action budget say a lot about how highly regarded the EU’s common foreign policy is. Now we are pondering as to whether Baroness Ashton is capable of establishing a common foreign policy for the EU. This is not about her, however: it concerns the EU’s big Member States. Hitherto, France, Germany and the United Kingdom have not spoken with one voice."@en1
