"Referring to European foreign policy and culture, we may state that half a century since the Treaty of Rome was signed, the EU is a highly attractive model throughout the world. (...) Despite the 'EU fatigue' of many of its citizens, the European Union is a powerful economic and social area, strong on human rights, the rule of law, and respect for cultural diversity. It is built on a unique political culture of sharing powers (...). The future role of Europe in the world will be shaped by the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy being developed by the member states and the European institutions. But the strength of the EU model is that it is cultural as well as political. Foreign policy inevitably has a cultural dimension. There is good reason, therefore, to promote an enhanced and structured cultural component to EU foreign and security policy."
