The institutional frame - the EEAS - the shaping

3 important questions on The institutional frame - the EEAS - the shaping

Why were the initial stages of the EEAS particularly difficult?

The personnel that was to join this new service was scattered across various offices in Brussels or detached EU Delegations worldwide

What were recommendations from the HR Ashton, directed to the commission and to a lesser extent the parliament?

- The extension of permanent EEAS chairs to all council working groups in the area of external relations
- A drastic reconsideration of EUSR mandates and roles, in order to integrate them in EEAS
- Make heads of EU delegations the traffic hub through which all instructions and briefings between Brussels and the external offices would be channelled
- Simplify administrative budgets and the management of EU resources, thereby overcoming residual fragmentation and their underlying turf battles

What where the main adjustments to the EEAS as proposed by Mogherini?

- Unifying the functions held by Vimont and O'Sullivan into a single Secretary-General post
- Confirming the two Deputy SGs but adding a third one in charge of economic and global issues
- Setting aside the business-like titles of key functions while streamlining and simplifying the somewhat top-heavy management of the DGs and directors
