EU member states are engaged in a fierce battle with newly-appointed EU foreign minister Catherine Ashton, who has made an audacious power grab to control foreign policy, according to a report in the FT.
歐盟成員國與新任命的歐盟外長凱瑟琳頓進行一場激烈的戰爭，她已作出大膽的奪權以控制外交政策，據金融時報報導。
"The first skirmishes have broken out in what promises to be a ferocious institutional battle over who will control the European Union’s common foreign policy, as member states fight off attempts from the European Commission to dominate the bloc’s budding diplomatic service," writes Stanley Pignal of the FT on March 4th.
“第一個小規模衝突爆發在有望是一場兇猛的機構戰爭，在於誰將控制歐盟的共同外交政策，當時成員國擊退歐洲委員會的企圖去操控歐盟萌芽中的外交服務，”金融時報 的斯坦利皮尼亞爾於3月4日寫。
The FT reports that David Miliband and Carl Bildt, foreign ministers of Britain and Sweden, have sided with EU foreign minister Catherine Ashton, but are warning her that she faces a tough battle in her push to construct European External Action Service staffed by eurocrats and to be run more or less independently of the EU's national governments and the Commission's diplomatic arm.
金融時報報導英國和瑞典的外長米利班德和卡爾比爾特，都站到歐盟外長凱瑟琳阿什頓那边，但警告她將面臨一場硬仗，在她的推動去建立由歐盟官員作職員的歐洲對外行動服務，和或多或少獨立管治於歐盟的國家政府和委員會的外交機構。
Milliband, Bildt and Ashton appear to be closely linked with the shadowy Bilderberg group, widely believed to be an instrument of rule of the global "elite", which controls the banks and energy sector as well as the corporate media.
米利班德，比爾特和阿什頓看似與影子彼爾德伯格集團有緊密聯繫，被普遍認為是全球“精英”的一件工具，它控制銀行和能源區域及公司媒體。
The power grab by the EEAS has sparked resistance "with a clear majority of the EU’s 27 member states... determined to exert greater influence over the service and akeen to appoint diplomats from their national capitals to senior posts," writes the FT.
EEAS的權力鬥爭已激發抵抗“有歐盟27個成員國的明顯大多數 ...決心施加更大的影響力在服務和近似的，從國家首都去任命外交官在高級職位，”金融時報寫道。
The letter of support from the Bildebergers Milliband and Bildt came ahead of a key meeting between Catherine Ashton and foreign ministers today over the staffing and organisation of the new foreign policy arm.
“We are concerned about some of the inter-institutional struggles evident in our current negotiations on the [European] EAS package,” Milliband and Bildt wrote. “You should know that you have our solid support.”
"Many of their proposals touch on seemingly mundane operational matters, but the broader issue is whether the EU’s new flagship diplomatic body is a continuation of current Commission structures or a break with the status quo," writes the FT.
The EEAS and Lady Ashton’s role were created by the Lisbon treaty, the EU’s new constitutional framework, which came into force in December in spite of the fact that Ireland -- the only country allowed to vote in the EU -- rejected it first time round.
The FT appears to suggest Ashton and José Manuel Barroso, the Commission president are at odds.
"The recent appointment by Mr Barroso of a close ally to the post of EU representative to Washington was widely viewed as undermining Lady Ashton’s authority, and angered many foreign ministers who would have expected to be consulted," writes the FT.
But other media reports suggested Ashton and Barroso have an equal role in side-lining foreign ministers to wrest control over the foreign policy direction.
