How to strengthen EU foreign policy

The European Union urgently needs a plan for a more effective foreign policy. Opinion polls suggest that a majority of Europeans would support a stronger EU foreign policy. The gravity of current issues such as the Iranian nuclear problem, the future of the Western Balkans, EU energy security and the deteriorating relationship with Russia show the urgent need for a more effective Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).
