THE AMENDMENTS TO THE COMMON FOREIGN AND SECURITY POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE LISBON TREATY

Avrupa Birliği, Lizbon Antlaşması ile birlikte tüzel kişilik kazanmıştır. Bu durum, ABnin dış politika kimliğini güçlendirmiş ve onun uluslar arası sözleşmelerin bir tarafı olabilmesi yolunu açmıştır. Getirilen değişikliklerle AB ülkeleri, dış devletler ve kuruluşlarla olan ilişkilerinde tek bir ağızdan konuşmaya, ortak hareket etmeye başlamıştır. Aslında Lizbon antlaşması, bu hususla ilgili, Ortak Dış ve Güvenlik Politikasını daha demokratik, şeffaf ve etkili hale getirebilmek ve ABnin uluslar arası arenada daha gö- rünür bir aktör olabilmesi için imzalanmıştır. Bu, yeni politikalar üretilmesi ve geliştirilmesi sırasında Avrupanın dış politika araçlarının bir araya getirilmesi ile başarılmıştır. Lizbon Antlaşması, ABnin dış politikasının yürütülmesi ile ilgili üç önemli kurumsal yenilik getirmiştir. Bunlardan ilki; Birlik Dışişleri ve Güvenlik Politikası Yüksek Temsilcisinin rolü, ikincisi; Avrupa Konseyi Başkanının görevleri, sonuncusu ise; yeni bir kurum olan Avrupa Dış Eylem Servisi ile ilgilidir.

Avrupa Birliğinin Ortak Dış ve Güvenlik Politikasına Lizbon Anlaşmaşı ile Getirilen Yenilikler

The European Union acquired legal personality in the Lisbon Treaty. This strengthened its foreign policy identity and allowed the EU to be party to international treaties. The analogy often drawn is that these changes have enabled EU Member States to speak with a single voice in relations with foreign nations and organizations. Indeed, the Treaty was signed in order to make the Common Foreign and Security Policy more democratic, transparent and effective, and to enhance the role of Europe as a visible actor on the international stage. This was to be achieved by bringing together Europes external policy instruments, both when developing and deciding new policies. As regards the future conduct of EU foreign policy, the Treaty of Lisbon introduced three major institutional innovations, namely the roles of The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the President of the European Council as well as a new body - the European External Action Service.
