	Democratic Control of European Foreign Policy
		The efficiency of the conduct of foreign policy does not seem to be appreciably lessened provided that mechanisms exist which clearly determine the importance of the action of each institution for the organization as a whole and, in particular, enable coordination of the action of the various institutions in creating legally binding acts.
		The European Parliament was, however, according to the original treaties, not conceived as an institution exercising a decisive role in the shaping of EC policies.
		Parliament's power, in the context of the formation and conduct of policy (which is strongly influenced by the executive at national level) to define and enunciate principles at the international level is crucially important for intra-Community legitimacy of the foreign policy which produces external effects by virtue of that very legitimacy.

	The European Union's Foreign Policy: Making a Difference in the World (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The foreign policy agenda today touches on issues - from drugs, to environmental degradation, to money laundering - which are not customarily thought to be the business of foreign ministers and their departments.
		The enlargement policy of the European Union is perhaps the most significant reason why, with the exception of Yugoslavia, the collapse and dismemberment of the Soviet Empire, has been managed without, on the whole, a hard landing.
		Foreign and security policy goes right to the heart of what it means to be a nation state and, in my judgment, for the foreseeable future, there will be in the European Union fifteen foreign ministers, fifteen foreign ministries, each with their own concerns and preoccupations, or twenty-five after enlargement.

	Democratic Control of European Foreign Policy
		The European Parliament has the right to put questions to the Foreign Ministers meeting in EPC corresponding to the right to question the Commission and the Council, the procedure for which is laid down in Rules 58-62 of the Rules of Procedure.
		For several reasons these foreign policy activities of Parliament are of crucial importance as regards the democratic legitimacy of the international activities of the Community and its Member States.
		Thus the European Parliament is entitled to play a central part in determining, on the basis of externally applied principles, legitimating and elucidating the external activities of the Community and of the Member States acting in common.

	European Foreign Policy in the Making - Udenrigsministeriet
		Obviously a collection of European countries speaking with different voices is in constant danger of being marginalized and is unlikely to have much influence on policy-making in Washington or elsewhere.
		The second main priority for EU foreign policy in the next decade could be termed "promoting the bright side of globalization." Globalization basically refers to the ongoing process of increased interaction and exchange within all spheres of life.
		The objectives of Denmark's foreign policy will be pursued with the same persistence in the UN Security Council when we will hopefully become a member in 2005-06.

	A European Foreign Policy: Ambition and Reality - Speech by Chris Patten (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		For foreign policy goes to the heart of what it means to be a nation.
		It would be absurd to divorce European foreign policy from the institutions which have been given responsibility for most of the instruments for its accomplishment: for external trade questions, including sanctions; for European external assistance; for many of the external aspects of Justice and Home Affairs.
		The Common Foreign and Security Policy has developed slowly in the European Union, and is still weak, because it is an area in which the Member States are rightly jealous of their national prerogatives.

	European foreign policy on Iraq
		Charles De Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer, François Mitterrand and Helmut Kohl, reconciliation and peace between the hereditary enemies France and Germany were key in building the European Community and the European Union.
		Nobody, neither the US nor the Europeans, including the former Soviet Union and Russia, look good in the Iraqi affair, where for strategic or blunt commercial reasons, an evil power was built up and later, especially in the Iran-Iraqi war, supported as the lesser evil, until Iraq invaded Kuwait.
		Check the article on US American foreign policy on Iraq for complementary information.

	ZNet \| Activism \| European Union
		European social institutions and aspirations for an independent role in world affairs are threatened by rampant United States' power, Anglo-Saxon economics and European Union enlargement.
		European leaders' current responses to the impasse of US strategy in Iraq and the crisis of EU monetary governance do not measure up to the opportunities, but weaken Europe and betray the hopes of those around the world who would like a check on the US.
		The European elite also refuses to face the reality that the US economic model, far from being worthy of emulation, is beset with difficulties.

	European Foreign Policy Unit
		The European Foreign Policy Unit (EFPU) was set up within the International Relations Department to act as a focus for research and teaching on issues relating to the steadily more serious attempts to create a collective European foreign policy since 1970.
		These efforts began with European Political Cooperation, which was associated with but not legally part of the European Community, and currently revolve around the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union, including the European Security and Defence Policy launched at Helsinki in December 1999.
		Between 2002 and 2005, EFPU was the British member of FORNET - a European Foreign Policy Research Network - which represented the first formal attempt to structure and co-ordinate a network of researchers across Europe focusing on foreign policy governance.

	The Bush Administration Should Not Back the European Constitution
		On the question of European aspirations for a common foreign policy, however, the position stated by Rice is problematic.
		As Europe unifies further and has a common foreign policy – I understand what is going to happen with the constitution and that there will be unification, in effect, under a foreign minister – I think that also will be a very good development.

		The second dimension of the debate is related to the wider question of whether the European Parliament is capable of legitimising EU policy outcomes.
		Furthermore, is the European Parliament developing a transnational, autonomous stance on foreign policy issues, different from that of the Council or the Commission?

	The Bruges Group (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Most of the references to the Common Foreign Policy in the proposed constitution deal with structures and the duty of member states to adhere to it, whatever it may be, loyally.
		The two characteristics that have distinguished all attempts at producing what is grandly described as a "European foreign policy" have been a lamentable tendency to bow and scrape to some of the world's worst tyrants and to try to produce a united front even if that means complete lack of policy or principles.
		For example, the European Union leaders have announced that they "look forward to an important United Nations contribution to the process leading to the formation, as soon as possible, of a representative Iraqi government, in which the UN can use its unique capacity and experience in post-conflict nation building".

		For the fact is that we Europeans (the British included) need the US much less than the US needs us.
		Such a European foreign policy will not necessarily be "anti-American" in any fundamental sense.
		And as for Britain, we have a straight choice - to work with France and Germany to create an independent European foreign and security policy, or, alternatively, to fall in with the logic of Mr Stephen's position, that we should become a province of the "American empire".

		In the framework of the European CFSP the Union adopts decisions (Common Positions, Joint Actions) and issues declarations (press statements, statements in international conferences and organizations), and it makes statements and answers questions in the European Parliament.
