The High Representative of the European Union Foreign Affairs and Security, Defense Policy

Global Foreign Affairs Representative -- June 26, 2007
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/june2007/goodricks626-3.htm

These are some of the things developing in the European Union ( EU ) this Summer of 2007.

First of all, many people have their eyes fixed on Xavier Solana ( also called Javier Solana) to become the UMFA.
His official title for now is High Representative for the Common Foreign Security Policy

Mr. Solana is a solid-state physicist who analyzes Defense Policy, especially in regards to nuclear militarism.
He is answerable to the nation-states within the Common Market ( EU ).
In our estimation, Mr. Solana PAVES the way for the new person to come on the scene as the EU Rep of Foreign Affairs.

Mr. Solana, as we see it, is preparing the way for another person to come on the scene and take over the role of forming Global Policy in regards to nuclear militarism and all other affairs of State.
That other person -- in our opinion -- is a quasi-nuclear physicist ( no country-bumpkin farmer ).
It is our belief that the new High Rep of EU Foreign Affairs will hail from another country; that he is an outsider ( not born in Europe ).

The coming Eighth King of Revelation 17 will be representing the EU itself as a Confederated Body of 10 heads
with "one voice", as we see it.
He will take the EU deliberations [ from the Commission, Parliament, Councils etc. ] and form one policy -- the EU policy.
Sort of a political Humptey-Dumptey.

Now these formulated policies will not be limited to the EU alone, as we see it. That is because the Powers That Be
have prepared the Office of the High Representative of Foreign Affairs and Security Policy well in advance. This Hi Rep will also
participate in UN meetings, and will have a diplomatic corps around the world.

Proposals being offered

UMFA : now called " High Representative of EU Foreign Affairs and SP " -- June 22, 2007 ( Ed: HRUFASP for short )
The proposed EU foreign minister will now have the clunkier title of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, while the text in several places makes clear that the EU should not get any more foreign policy powers.
http://euobserver.com/9/24342/?rk=1

High Representative of the European Union for FP, Defense and Security -- June 22, 2007
The title would be High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Policy, defense and security, instead of the Union Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Ed: a double portfolio .....
The new foreign policy chief will take over the jobs from present foreign policy chief Javier Solana and EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner.
The new foreign policy chief would chair meetings of the 27 EU foreign ministers and head a combined foreign service with both national and EU diplomats. http://english.people.com.cn/200706/23/eng20070623_386984.html
Ed: HREUFPDS for short

Vice-President of European Commission -- June 22, 2007
Under the deal, the foreign policy chief would be called High Representative of the European Union
and serve also as vice-president of the executive European Commission,
but would not get the title of 'foreign minister' as in the constitution.
The new foreign policy chief would chair meetings of EU foreign ministers and head a combined external action service drawing on both national and EU diplomats,http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/world/20070622-0746-eu-treaty-foreign.html

Moves to make EU foreign policy more decisive were at the heart of the constitutional treaty. All 27 member states signed up to a deal to create a single “foreign minister” who would sit in both the European Commission and the Council of Ministers, and thus end the absurd situation of having two representatives for every external issue. There was also to be a common “external action service” of EU diplomats running everything from diplomacy to development assistance.

Creation of an EU diplomatic corp --June 22, 2007
Thousands of European commission officials serving in its 120 delegations around the world - effectively diplomats in waiting - will come under his or her control. The minister is also expected to chair the EU council of foreign ministers, helping to define sensitive polices throughout the world, from the US to China, Iran and Iraq.
The draft drawn up early this morning states the EU’s foreign policy will lead to “the progressive framing of a common defence policy that might lead to a common defence
But critics say this will not be enough to prevent the EU corps from growing into a fully-fledged diplomatic service
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/06/23/ntreaty423.xml

In addition, as demanded by Britain the treaty will not refer to the appointment of a first-ever EU “foreign minister” but to a “high representative for foreign and security policy.” Britain claims that the title of foreign minister would give the impression that national governments were ceding sovereignty on foreign policy to the EU.

External Representation of the EU
UN Security Council seat for EU --25 January 2005
"The EU’s Commissioner for External Affairs, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, is currently advocating a single seat for the EU in the UN. She recently argued that, "Europe must speak with one voice in the Security Council… I think that one should consider a special seat for the EU in the Security Council given its foreign policy significance"
--- EU-Observer

Aside from the EU’s established negotiating position in the WTO, Article III-296 (2) of the EU Constitution says that the EU Foreign Minister “shall conduct political dialogue with third parties on the Union’s behalf“, throwing the net wide for negotiations in other international arenas
http://www.vote-no.com/webelieve/research/myth1.pdf.

* * * * *
person 1 - High Representative of the EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy ...... at the UN
"When the EU has defined its position on a subject discussed at the UN Security Council ‘those Member States which sit on the Security Council shall request that the Union Minister ( Ed: H Rep ) for Foreign Affairs be asked to present the Union’s position’. How far and how often France and Britain will be willing to observe the letter and spirit of this article remains to be seen."

person 2 -- president of European Council
Constitutional Treaty, which allows the new President of the European Council as well to represent the EU to the outside world ‘on issues concerning its common foreign and security policy’

transatlantic
A de facto division of tasks might be the best way forward, with the President of the Council, for example, negotiating with the US President,
whilst the European Foreign Minister would speak with the US Secretary of State

EU and the WTO ( Commerce, Economy )
When the whole of Europe speaks with one voice, we can have more clout on the world stage. For example, sanctions or arms embargoes have more impact if imposed by 25 countries rather than one. We are stronger in trade negotiations if we negotiate as one economic bloc. And diplomatic initiatives, designed to improve our security, can be more effective with the support of European partners.

One Voice for the EU at the UN

It is the unique position of the Hi Rep of the EU Foreign Affairs
that he may be granted a seat at the UN Security Council ( only 5 permanent seats with veto-power;
the other 10 seats are temporary ) .
In order to do this, both France and England may have to relinquish their seats at the UN Security Council. 
Or, the Hi Rep of the EU FA and SP may be granted an additional 6th seat. Only time will reveal the details.

From that platform,  the EU policy maker [ Hi Rep of FA and SP ] will be able to voice his directives Globally.
This, of course, remains to be seen.

This global policy maker will thus be camouflaged by surrounding participants , as if he were simply a Representative of EU Affairs with a Defense portfolio. Not so. He will be forming Global policy to which all nations will comply. This too remains to be seen.

More information on his position as Hi Rep of EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy can be seen at :
www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/egov.html

The Five permanent seats on the UN Security Council are currently held by China, Russia, The United States, France and Britain.

Many people are not aware that UN Treaties supercede all other treaties, as explained here:
http://www.capalert.com/sexedabcdisney/amersov.htm

That is why the EU Constitution is being called the New EU Treaty , building upon the treaties that came before:
The Treaty of Rome ( 1957 ) ; Maastricht ( 1992); Amsterdam ( 1996 ) ; and Nice ( 2000 ) .


That is why the one voice over the EU will become the one voice over the Globe as he sits
( physically, ....... or virtually by remote telecommunications )
at the UN Security Council. That is how we see it.

ONE VOICE www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/kol.html

Role of the NEW Union Minister of Foreign Affairs
"One of the big changes is to create an EU Foreign Minister. This person will sit in the Commission, as one of its vice-Presidents, and answer to the member states. The position will amalgamate the posts of External Relations Commissioner and High Representative of the EU. Currently the two men occupying the posts - Chris Patten and Javier Solana - expend considerable energies not stepping on each other's patch

The Union shall have a legal personality.
The supremacy of Union law over national law is written down for the first time.
The Charter of Fundamental Rights is legally binding.
Eurozone countries get more powers

June 28-2002
"If you want Europe to be a force in the world, as we do, you have to have a leader that Bush can phone and say:
I talk to Europe now," Mr Hain points out. The British Europe minister deplores the fact that American president George Bush does not know who is in charge with the current EU presidency system. Without a longterm full-time president, the EU will never be influential on the world stage and business will be done, as it is today, with the UK, France or Germany, warns Mr Hain, insisting that small countries have nothing to gain from this situation.

External Affairs to have a diplomatic corps -- June 11, 2004
Governments have agreed that in order for the new foreign minister to have a well-functioning back-up service by the time the post comes into being, then preparations have to start straight away.
If the Constitution is finalised by EU leaders on 17-18 June [ 2004] , it will not come into force until at least 2006 - but it is set to be signed in the early autumn. [of 2004]

Directly after this, the machinery surrounding the foreign minister post, which will essentially be an EU diplomatic service made up of civil servants from both the member states and the European Commission delegations, will be put into place.

Two big institutional changes that are being considered for early introduction are a new post of EU foreign minister - some want it to be in place by November - and having a president of the eurogroup - something pushed by France.

The NEW Union Minister of Foreign Affairs--October 2, 2003
EU FOREIGN MINISTER: New post, to be appointed by a qualified majority of member states. The foreign minister also to be responsible for security and defence policy, and will replace both the Commissioner for External Affairs Chris Patten and EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana.

Foreign Minister Role
The British prime minister is opposed to handing over member-state powers [ed. note: the Council ] in the fields of foreign affairs, economic policy and security, to EU bodies in Brussels. [ed.note: the Commission and Foreign Minister -VP]
Giscard d'Estaing's draft text, which includes the creation of a post of EU foreign minister, has sparked a growing campaign for a public vote in Britain on whether the country should adopt the constitution. http://www.eubusiness.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=110934

"Foreign Minister" to preside over priorities --May 22, 2003
Ed: We believe that the person over External Affairs will act as co- Foreign Minister. And although the media
gives play to Solana for Foreign Affairs, we believe the real policy-maker will be the person over External Affairs.
1 voice for 1 world
EU member states should integrate their national priorities into Europe's framework in order to create a global diplomacy. Mr Papandreou, whose country currently holds the EU's presidency, believes such a plan is important in order for the EU to be able to speak with one voice in a Europe of 25 member states, and best target the main risks in the world.

The foreign minister stressed that everyone, in Europe and the US, has an interest in having a strong Europe to rely on. Cohesion between the member states may be even bigger now than before the Iraqi crisis, the minister also said.

Powerful "foreign minister" wanted; ---April 26, 2003
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The planned foreign minister of the European Union will have far-reaching powers under the new proposals unveiled yesterday by the Convention on the future of Europe.

This individual, who will also be vice-president of the Commission, will be able to have the right to initiate proposals in the area of Common Foreign and Security Policy.

**These are two huge innovations - taking away member states' treasured right of veto and giving the minister the right of initiative in the area.

Until now the High Representative for CFSP (Common Foreign Security Policy) - which the new post will combine with the External Relations Commissioner - could only "assist the Council" by contributing to the "formulation, preparation and implementation of policy decisions

Luxembourg MP Ben Fayot agreed that the minister will be "very powerful" but suggested it would bring
a "new dynamic" to the EU.

Commenting on consolidated EU Authority:(from bbc)
No. We had one head of state between 1941 and 1945 for the following countries: Germany, Poland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Northern France, The Channel Islands, Ukraine, Byelorussia, The Baltic States. It didn't work then.

EU Foreign Policy --June 20, 2003
Initial reactions to the overarching principles of the document point towards a great deal of common ground between EU and US priorities and the identification of global threats.
Emphasis on cooperation with allies and partners mirrors similar aims found in the US National Security Strategy.
The document, drafted by the EU's High Representative for Foreign Policy Javier Solana, marks a shift from the traditional concept of self-defence, based on the threat of invasion, to a more proactive stance.
Terror must be tackled using both civilian and military capabilities, using political and economic pressures.

Foreign Minister within the Commission (also Vice-President of the Commission)
The commission backs an EU foreign minister with a 'double hat' as Prodi puts it, representing on the one hand the external relations [ like Chris Patten ]tasks of the EU governments and on the other those of the commission itself.
[meaning : representing the EU Commission to the Council ; and then globally? ]

“Who would have said five months ago that this would happen? Then all of a sudden we have a person who can truly represent, at this crucial stage, the common will of the Commission and the Council, and while they won’t  be sharing a telephone line, so to speak, they will at least be operating from the same switchboard,” said Prodi.

EU to elect "Foreign Minister" ( in charge of Defense and Security) [ like Javier Solana ]
...... the Commission president will be a European
The latest proposals from the convention on the future of Europe would also commit member states to "unreservedly" backing an EU common foreign policy, if approved unanimously at an intergovernmental conference

Europe will remain a union of sovereign nation states [ "10 kings who have not received their kingdom yet" ]

"In addition, EU leaders would also elect a foreign minister to conduct the union's common foreign policy and carry out any foreign policy mandates agreed by the member states. Defence and security policy initiatives undertaken by the EU would also come under his or her remit.
On foreign policy the document declares: "Member states shall actively and unreservedly support the union's common foreign and security policy in a spirit of loyalty and mutual solidarity. They shall refrain from action contrary to the union's interests or likely to undermine its effectiveness."

Accession countries want EU Foreign Minister --Oct. 10, 2003
There is higher support for a common EU foreign policy in the accession countries, with 74 percent in favour. Cyprus is most in favour of a common policy - with 87 percent - and Malta least in favour with just over half.
These countries are even more in favour of a common defence policy, with 84 percent declaring themselves for "a common defence and security policy among European Union member states".

Germany wants an all powerful leader over both the Commission and the Council---Jan 2, 2003
Germany's foreign minister Joschka Fischer is pushing for the idea of one person to be the head of the European Commission and European Council. Britain is clearly against this plan, however it would support the proposal for the European Parliament to elect the head of the Commission.

"I was very struck at Copenhagen by how France completely lined up with Blair on the necessity for an elected chairman for the European Council of Ministers, whereas the German position is for giving all power to a new kind of European kaiser, a Commission president who will tell all the other European institutions what to do," Mr MacShane told the Financial Time
http://www.euobserver.com/index.phtml?sid=9&aid=8890

Henning Christophersen, a former EU Commissioner representing the Danish government in the Convention said he is worried because the EU foreign minister would hold "the right to initiative and at the same time lead the negotiations and implement the decisions".

He believes this would put too much power into the hands of one person and said that such an arrangement is unknown in national constitutions.
http://www.euobserver.com/index.phtml?aid=11015

MacShane warns of all powerful EU leader--Jan 2, 2003
Denis MacShane (pictured), the Europe minister, has accused Germany of wanting to appoint an all-powerful "kaiser" at the top of the European Commission and warned Gerhard Schröder that the English decapitated such a figure 350 years ago.
He attacked the German proposals for a stronger head of the Commission, arguing that they would sideline national governments and their leadership.
One idea being touted by Joschka Fischer, Germany's foreign minister, is for a one person to be president of both the Commission and the European Council, http://news.ft.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=FT.com/StoryFT/FullStory&c=StoryFT&cid=1039524086426&p=1012571727159

Europe sets out sweeping new powers May 27-2003
The EU envisaged by the 105-strong convention would have a full-time president elected by EU leaders to give strategic direction. He or she would be a serving or former prime minister.
A foreign minister would be elected, also by EU leaders, to conduct a common policy. EU defence and security policy initiatives would also come under his remit.
