European Union's Federica Mogherini appoints 43 new EU ambassadors
 |
| Federica Mogherini the EU high representative for foreign affairs |
A total of 43 new ambassadors have been appointed to embassies around the globe, including far-flung locations such as Swaziland, by EU high representative Federica Mogherini.
The union’s top diplomat has granted the appointments, which need the approval of national governments, which include representatives in Russia, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Argentina.
The new EU representatives appointed for diplomatic posts include seasoned diplomats, national diplomats and EU high-flyers.
As to EU-US relations Ms. Mogherini had noted earlier: "differing views on foreign aid and diplomacy means Europe’s approach to the United States may change, but said she believes there is still a “common interest to work together” over matters of security and economic issues.
Ms Mogherini said: “We have entered in a different phase in the relationship between Europe and the United States, that’s quite clear".

European Foreign Service: Who Should Be the EU’s Next Foreign Policy Chief? - by Carnegie Europe
There is a difference between who the EU’s next foreign policy chief should be and who it will be.
It should be Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the most experienced and capable foreign minister of the big three EU member states—France, Germany, and the UK. But he feels he can have more influence in Berlin, a sentiment that in itself is a commentary on the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).
The second-best candidate would be Kristalina Georgieva, the respected European commissioner for humanitarian aid, who would be well placed to bridge the gap between the commission and CFSP. But she has only an outside chance, as her native Bulgaria’s lobbying weight is rather slight.
The two candidates favored by think tankers are Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, widely seen as “too clever by half,” and his Polish counterpart, Radek Sikorski, who, having already submitted his candidacy, is likely to suffer the fate of most candidates who declare too early. Frans Timmermans, the Dutch foreign minister, would have been a good choice, but since Jean-Claude Juncker has been appointed as president of the European Commission, there is unlikely to be another Benelux national in one of the three top jobs (the third being president of the European Council).
So who will be the dark horse? Step forward Federica Mogherini, unheard of until she was appointed Italy’s foreign minister in February 2014. She has limited experience but probably more than Catherine Ashton, the EU’s current foreign policy chief, had when she was appointed. Mogherini is from the center-left, has not upset anyone, and is female, so she ticks a lot of boxes. What’s more, Italy wants the job as it did not get the position of NATO secretary general.
