In that case, the EEAS itself could become a casualty of events.

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.

In particular, success will require turning the European External Action Service (EEAS) into an effective diplomatic corps that can convert the EU s huge resources into real power.

Ashton s EEAS could have established a clear lead at a much earlier stage by responding publicly to the spreading Arab unrest.

It would have been a good idea, for example, to send EEAS observers to selected countries to assess their political mood and economic needs.

External work may be estimated by measuring the physical activity level (PAL).

The European External Action Service (EEAS), which is meant to enable the EU to speak with one voice, was launched only at the end of 2010 and many senior positions remain unfilled.

The lines of authority between the new Euro diplomats and existing national foreign ministries are still unclear but the EEAS is, nonetheless, a fact.

A second set of problems confronts the EU externally.

The European External Action Service (which serves as the EU s foreign ministry and diplomatic corps) is a work in progress, and the divisions between member states have affected High Representative Catherine Ashton s ability to speak for Europe on Libya.

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.

The working paper sets out the fundamental elements of an international convention on the non proliferation of weapons in outer space and the use or threat of use of force against objects in outer space.

(a) The Administrative Account and the Work Programme Sub Account (EU)

At the regional level, the European Conference and Exchange Forum about Volunteering (Eurofestation 2004), held in 2004 in the Netherlands during that country's presidency of the European Union, was attended by representatives from a broad range of stakeholders in volunteerism.

The need to work more on a treaty that prevents the weaponization of outer space, and that contains methods of verification.

This comes despite the combined bailout package that the European Union, International Monetary Fund, and European Central Bank created for Greece in May, and despite the ECB s continuing program of buying peripheral EU countries bonds.

Sadly missing in this diplomatic action is the European Union.

EU PROPOSAL

It is urgent that everything necessary be done to prevent the proliferation of space weapons.

If Germany no longer acts as the driving force of European integration, then European integration is a thing of the past.

The EU then went ahead on its own, introducing its path breaking European Emission Trading System in the hope that Europe could lead by example.

It must pledge to boost domestic expenditures, reduce its external surplus, and accept an increase in the ECB s inflation target.

In view of the above, substantive work on preventing an arms race in outer space, by closing the loopholes in the existing international legal regime and preventing the weaponization of outer space and an arms race in practical terms, cannot be deferred.

We are completely capable of blocking deployment of weapons in outer space and guiding scientific and technological work and progress in creative directions.

As we approach the fortieth anniversary of the signing of the Outer Space Treaty, we would urge member States to work towards universalizing the Outer Space Treaty, which currently has 98 States parties. For those delegations who today question the need to negotiate treaty law in the disarmament field, let me ask them to consider the level of vulnerability of the commercial, communication, verification and intelligence assets in space, if not for this existing multilateral legal regime.

It could agree to swift bank recapitalization, a banking license for the European Stability Mechanism, and a more expansionary ECB policy.

16. Requests the Secretary General to implement activities of the Office for Outer Space Affairs as contained in the Plan of Action and to ensure that those activities are included in the programme of work for the biennium 2006 2007

Rather, the two countries form a laboratory needed for the internal working of the EU.

One avenue for collaboration would be to work towards the creation of an international outer space agency and to cooperatively conduct large scale resource intensive outer space research projects within the framework of the United Nations.

The second act will be about restoring growth prospects for the EU periphery, which will pose an even more difficult challenge.

We need to continue to work together to examine present and future threats and to keep outer space peaceful, using the full potential of the multilateral forums of both the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and the Conference on Disarmament.

That would safeguard the independence of mandate holders from outside influence, help to enhance the basic operating methodology and ensure that best practices were obtained and shared.

This makes it even more important for the EEAS to align the Common Security and Defense Policy with wider foreign policy efforts.

(c) The preliminary list of potential topics for the joint technical workshop on nuclear power sources in outer space, as contained in paragraph above.

The European Union believed that the Organization needed to adopt the proposal as a matter of principle, irrespective of the actual identity of the External Auditor at any given moment.

Moreover, the means to work together effectively are often lacking.

Fourth, the EU s aspiration for a common foreign and security policy must be addressed.

The EU budget is an investment vehicle that boosts economic growth and creates jobs.

There are plenty of areas in which common action at the EU level is both appropriate and efficient.

Finally, the European Union pays tribute to the work of UNESCO as lead agency for the Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace.

The Nordic Baltic Task Force against Trafficking in Human Beings has been formed.
