| The 27-member European Union needs more than a President to make its global presence felt. The election of Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy as President of the EU and of the EU Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton as the EU’s foreign policy chief does mark an important milestone in EU’s evolution as a coherent political group, but how important will depend upon the EU’s willingness to play its part in global affairs. For the past few months, the US, China, Russia, India and even Brazil have been grabbing more headlines in global media than the EU. Asia’s rise and America’s assertiveness had cast a shadow on the EU in the past few years. The global economic crisis and slowdown have, in fact, given the EU an opportunity to raise its profile once again. Germany and France, in particular, have been able to re-assert their global presence through deft political and economic management at home. |
