European Union External Action Service — 14 Jul 2010 at 18:57

The majority of MPs voted to support the establishment of a European Union External Action Service.

The main elements of this service are the appointments of:

  • A President of the European Council appointed for a renewable term of two and a half years.
  • A High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

The motion approved read:

  • That this House takes note of European Document Nos. 8029/10 and 11507/10, draft Council Decisions establishing the organisation and functioning of the European External Action Service; European Document No. 8134/10, draft Regulation on the Financial Regulations for the European External Action Service; and an unnumbered draft Regulation amending Staff Regulations of officials of the European Communities and the conditions of employment of other servants of those Communities; and supports the Government's policy to agree to the Decision establishing the External Action Service at the Foreign Affairs Council in July 2010.
