"Following the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Union’s diplomatic activities have been beefed up with a view to raising Europe’s profile on the international stage. I welcome the adoption of this report, which calls for better representation for the Community institutions in international organisations. The Europe of 27 is stronger now. The new Member States have increased the Union’s economic and demographic strength. However, the balance and coordination between Member States has been thrown out of kilter by enlargement. The European message has changed: it has become richer and more complex. As I see it, if we are to improve the European Union’s representation in multilateral organisations, we must first find a consensus. I am pleased to see that the Union has supported the United Nations’ strategy, particularly in the case of humanitarian policy and conflict resolution. Europe and the UN have a wealth of objectives and interests in common, which, in my view, justifies even closer cooperation and resource synergies. I would therefore like to see Europe accorded a stronger position within the UN, particularly at the annual General Assembly."@en1
