The new organization chart of the diplomatic service. Still so fluffy
(BRUSSELS2, exclusive) The European diplomatic service (EEAS) will have a new organization chart at the beginning of May. B2 was able to consult this organization chart closely. The main changes affect the sphere of defense policy. (Details are commented on the Club of B2).
Some elements seem logical in this new organization chart. But we stay halfway. And honestly this flowchart is still quite dense (I'm nice) and rather incomprehensible. If, moreover, a charitable soul can help me read it, I'm interested... :-)) Do not place civilian crisis management or the politico-military group in the security policy as a whole is not that logical... We have the impression that this organization chart remains even more marked by decisions which are more like personal decisions - which will only last for the time of a person's stay at the EEAS - than by diplomatic or organizational logic. It is true that the matter is complex, that creating a single service from elements from various backgrounds cannot be done overnight. Especially since the susceptibilities are great not only at the level of the men inside the structures, but also between structures. Member States, European Commission, European Parliament watch "intensely" on the baby EEAS, to also defend their own interests...
