Part 6 of 6: EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Removed:EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Removed:Each year, the Committee on Foreign Affairs drafts a resolution on the implementation of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) in response to the report presented by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to the European Parliament. This resolution evaluates the progress and challenges of the CFSP and constitutes a central part of the European Parliament’s contribution to shaping the EU’s external action. It is particularly important in light of the strengthened scrutiny powers granted to the European Parliament under the Treaty of Lisbon.
Removed:This report expands on key strategic priorities that guide the future direction of the CFSP, offering clear guidance for the EU executive. It emphasises a forward-looking posture through several core principles that Parliament insists should underpin the CFSP:
Removed:a. Shaping the rules-based international order we defend;
Removed:b. Fostering cooperation based on interests we share;
Removed:c. Establishing non-negotiable positions we treat as inviolable;
Removed:d. Increasing the impact of EU external action we deliver.
Removed:The report elaborates on each of these priorities in detail.
