Implementing the Lisbon Treaty:

The External Policy Dimension, by Antonio Missiroli

This too is worth a read although 33 pages-not as explicit as the previous document I thought.

To start with, the Treaty envisages a role in this domain for the newly created President of the European Council. 

Such a role, however, is not spelt out in detail in the text (probably intentional, given the lack of consensus on the actual scope of the President's future mandate). 

No e-mail. 

Google in title and name Antonio Missiroli-or, I can send in attachment.

Abstract

This policy brief examines the implementation to date of the Lisbon Treaty's provisions for EU external policy, in particular the High Representative/Commission Vice President and the External Action Service. Numerous challenges inherent to the structure of the system are becoming apparent already, involving as they are complex trade-offs both between EU institutions and among the Member States. The EU's ability to act as a coherent external actor will be tested only after the new 'system' takes a clearer shape. This may take time and require adjustments along the way - while the rapid evolution of the international system and dramatic power shifts at the global level require both immediate action and strategic vision.
