Lisbon Treaty: Institutional Changes in European Union Foreign Policy

Summary/Abstract: The obstacles to the process of ratification of the Lisbon Treaty were ended on 1 December 2009 when the Treaty came into force after it had been ratified by all EU member countries. The new Treaty the European Union relies upon is in practice regarded as a follow-up to the initiative for deepening of the political integration of Europe within new and changed conditions. The article presents the institutional changes provided by the Lisbon Treaty in the fields of foreign policy and European Union foreign relations. Special attention is devoted to the redefined role of High Representative for Common Foreign Policy and Security as well as to the newly established role of President of the European Council. The author also analyses the changes in the EU presidency system as well as the key changes in the defence and security policy, this also including the changes in the European Union institutional system.
