We must be very clear about this because I also have reservations about a second issue: the European External Action Service has a very broad mandate, which includes military operations.

Function: (a) Second secretary, Taliban “Embassy”, Islamabad, Pakistan (b) First Secretary, Taliban “Embassy”, Islamabad, Pakistan, (c) “Ambassador” at Large, (d) Head of United Nations Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Taliban regime.

As the previous speaker also said, it is three decades since the US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, asked the question: ‘Who do I call if I want to call Europe?’ Creating the post of High Representative and an external service will allow the European Union to answer this question.

Notwithstanding the second subparagraph of Article 4(2), seconded military staff may not involve the GSC in an external commitment, except under a special mandate granted under the authority of the Secretary-General/High Representative.

It shall consist of the Secretary General, who shall have the chair, and of the Directors General of the Legal Service, Administration and Personnel, External Relations, Justice and Home Affairs and Joint Research Centre and of the Heads of the Internal Audit Service and the Commission Security Office.
