Workshop: ‘EU external representation and the reform of international contexts: practices after Lisbon’, 21-22 February 2012

As part of the LISBOAN Network the Clingendael Institute is organising an expert workshop to gain better insight into what the EU is and does in international organisations and regimes. With the Lisbon Treaty the EU aimed to increase the EU’s international profile by strengthening the coherence and visibility of the EU’s external representation. Yet its entry into force did not end the debate on the EU’s representation in various international organisations; quite the contrary. The EU Member States agreed to increase the EU’s profile in international settings, but have difficulties with entrusting their international representation to the EU. Very often they are not willing to give up their seats, votes or speaking rights in external contexts, complicating potential reform within those contexts. The meeting provides a forum for free and open discussion based on papers presented by researchers from universities and think tanks, as well as diplomats and officials who contribute their practical experience in EU external representation in various international settings.
