I am more unsure about the notion of a European foreign minister, largely because I am not sure what it amounts to, if anything at all. Commissioners Solana and Patten are doing what will be done by a European foreign minister. I am in favour if it makes things simpler. The bottom line is that a European foreign minister or two Commissioners is meaningless if there is not some form of consensus as to what European foreign policy should be or at the very least in terms of the treaty, a mechanism whereby one can be agreed. We are a long way from that agreement, as the events of the past ten weeks have illustrated only too clearly. As long as Britain and France insist, they are entitled to an independent say on the most powerful body in the world, the Security Council, without any reference to the European Union. This is a serious problem for the European Union.
