Yooractive: EU leaders debate diplomatic overhaul
The article explores the future of the European Union's foreign policy, focusing on an reform plan that includes integrating the External Action Service into the European Commission's structure and improving coordination among member states. These reforms aim to strengthen national control over foreign policies and reduce functional overlaps, with greater powers delegated to national governments. Disputes between France and Germany highlight disagreements over the scope of implementation and the level of control; Germany favors fully integrating the service under the Commission's authority, while France objects, fearing a reduction in the influence of member states. The goal of these reforms is to enhance efficiency and reduce costs, with an annual budget nearing one billion euros, amid calls for a reform that balances European cooperation with national independence.
