Specialist conference
Details
The purpose, even existence, of our Union is being questioned. Yet, our
citizens and the world need a strong European Union like never before. Our
wider region has become more unstable and more insecure. The crises
within and beyond our borders are affecting directly our citizens’ lives. In
challenging times, a strong Union is one that thinks strategically, shares a
vision and acts together. This is even more true after the British referendum.
We will indeed have to rethink the way our Union works, but we perfectly
know what to work for. We know what our principles, our interests and our
priorities are. This is no time for uncertainty: our Union needs a Strategy.
We need a shared vision, and common action.
From the Foreword to "A Global Strategy for the
European Union’s Foreign And Security Policy" by Federica Mogherini, High Representative
of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
