The political decision that created the European External Action Service (EEAS) said that High Representative Catherine Ashton should review the Service in a report in the summer of 2013 – two years after the creation of the EEAS.

The Review was published in July 2013 and presented a range of proposals and suggestions from the High Representative on the organisation and functioning of the EEAS. It was divided into three sections: the organisation of the EEAS, the functioning of the EEAS, and the role of the HR/VP. On the basis of the review process a number of short-term and medium-term recommendations were made.

The Review sets out some of the lessons that have been learned. The EEAS has sought to make the best use of scarce financial resources – and also to meet expectations that the EU should support progress towards democracy and prosperity in countries as varied as Libya and Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan, Mali and Myanmar/Burma.
