The European External Action Service: Implications and Challenges1 by Gustav Lindstrom
GCSP Policy Paper n°8 November 2010 The European External Action Service: Implications and Challenges1 by Gustav Lindstrom Key Points • The European External Action Service (EEAS) established by the Lisbon Treaty will reach initial operating capability in December 2010. However, full operational capability may take several years to achieve, requiring a careful management of expectations in the short- to medium-term. • A key characteristic of the EEAS will be the combination of staff from relevant depart- ments of the Council General Secretariat, the European Commission, and from the diplo- matic services across EU Member States. • While the EEAS does not modify the decision-making process within the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy/Common Security and Defence Policy, it will change the de- cision-shaping process. The EEAS will change the way European officials gather, process, analyse, report, and disseminate foreign policy relevant information. Increasingly harmo- nised analysis and common vision will facilitate the transition towards a more coherent EU foreign policy. • One of the less known implications of the EEAS is the shift towards more Council prepara- tory bodies chaired by individuals designated by the High Representative Catherine Ash- ton. Beyond strengthening the continuity of work in the preparatory bodies, the change is likely to diminish EU Member States’ ability to champion their own initiatives. • The EEAS still faces several challenges. These range from addressing logistical require- ments to resolving outstanding disagreements over EEAS areas of responsibility. The Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) is an international training centre for security policy based in Geneva. An international foundation with over 40 member states, it offers courses for civil servants, diplomats and military officers from all over the world.

The Role of the Council Secretariat in the Day-To-Day Deci- Sion-Making Process in the Council of Ministers
Hidden Hand or Oiling the Wheels? The Role of the Council Secretariat in the Day-to-Day Deci- sion-Making Process in the Council of Ministers Anders Hulgreen Jensen Department of Culture and Global Studies, Aalborg University Master’s degree in European Studies Master’s Thesis Supervisor: Anette Borchorst Abstract The aim of this master’s thesis is to analyse under which conditions the Council Sec- retariat influences the day-to-day decision-making process in the Council of the Euro- pean Union (Council). This research question is based on the fact that it is the way in which the member states negotiate in the Council, either according to rational choice institutionalism and/or sociological institutionalism, that provide the room for ma- noeuvre for the Council Secretariat. Thus, this study is not about European integra- tion, but the actual day-to-day decision-making in the Council. Rational choice insti- tutionalism and sociological institutionalism are applied in order to explain the nego- tiations in the Council which entail human interactions in institutional settings. The analysis is carried out based on 14 interviews with policy officers in the Council Secretariat and attachés at national permanent representations in Brussels. Instead of identifying the role of the Council Secretariat in one specific policy area, a horizontal approach is chosen. It is acknowledged that decision-making in the Council varies according to policy area and voting rules and that member states sometimes reach decisions after problem solving and others according to hard bargaining. It is concluded in this thesis that the member states want the help of a suprana- tional actor in the day-to-day negotiations.
