EU News: Council of the European Union establishes
the European External Action Service (EEAS)
20 July
The Council of the European Union has
adopted a decision establishing the structure, organisation and
responsibility of the EEAS - an autonomous body of the EU aimed at
streamlining the EU's external action. Article 9 of the decision on
‘External Action Instruments and Programming’ states that the management
of the EU’s external cooperation programmes will remain the Commission’s
responsibility. However, the EEAS will be involved in several steps of the
programming cycle, for example with the Country and Regional Strategy
Papers (CRSPs). This means that the EEAS will be an important target for
Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) advocates in the future when
advocating to include health in the CRSPs. Article 9 also makes reference
to thematic programmes such as “Investing in People” (IiP) stating that
these will be prepared by the appropriate Commission service. The full
text can be found at:h!
