Summary
"The Lisbon Treaty created a new EU foreign affairs chief, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, who is also Vice-President of the European Commission. The High Representative is supported by a new diplomatic corps known as the European External Action Service (EEAS). This report addressed the question of whether the setting up of the EEAS has been managed effectively. It concludes both that the EEAS was established without adequate preparation and that its efficiency was impaired by shortcomings in its management of resources. The Court also found that, although coordination between the EEAS and both the Commission and Member States was improving, it was still inadequate. "-- Page [4] of cover.

Contents
Executive summary -- Introduction. Legal basis and background; Organisational set-up -- Audit scope and approach -- Observations. The establishment of the EEAS was rushed and inadequately prepared, beset by too many constraints and vaguely defined tasks; Weaknesses in the prioritisation, organisation and allocation of resources reduce the EEAS's efficiency; Coordination with the Commission and Member States is improving, but is still insufficient for the EEAS to fulfil its potential -- Conclusions and recommendations -- Reply of the EEAS.
