A major question that arises at this time is whether the European Union is a genuine actor on the stage of international affairs. Although at present, the Treaties have given rise to a number of policies in this regard, such as the Common Foreign and Security Policy, the concrete actions of the EU in international issues either revolve around the structures of NATO, or fall into the area of low politics.Thus, whilst benefitting from its own external economic policy, the Union still lacks the necessary constriction elements amid major crises, which makes it necessary to redefine its institutional approach so as to ensure the safety of European citizens.
