A second set of problems confronts the EU externally.

Meanwhile, the European Union has established a new foreign policy apparatus called the European External Action Service (EEAS), which is meant to represent the common interests of all 27 of the EU s member states.

The same is true of the EU, where attention and action has been centered in recent months on defending the euro and resolving the economic difficulties on the Union s periphery.

But, as Habsburg history shows, such arrangements create entrenched privileges among the haves and grudges among the have nots. In a union of many parts, there are no shortcuts the EU must provide the same level of integration at the periphery as at the imperial core.

(e) Consider the need for further review of the international arrangement, in order that it continue to be dynamic and adapt to evolving conditions, and consider ways of helping member States to participate actively in such a review.

The European Union will then follow with a mission of its own, and we will support the EU in this endeavor.

But internal European Union studies indicate that European exports are more closely linked to changes in external demand than the euro dollar exchange rate.
