The European Parliament is an institution with clearly limited competences in the area of the Union’s common foreign and security policy. However, this does not mean that it is separated from the policy in question. While the European Parliament does not in fact have any decision-making powers in the field of foreign and security policy, some organizational links with this area can be seen. They also include links with the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, which have been made the subject matter of this article. The aim of the presented considerations is to identify and analyze the main formal mechanisms of the potential and actual influence of the EP on the office of the High Representative as the body responsible for programming and implementing the common foreign and security policy. In this context, the questions of the EP’s influence on the appointment and termination of the term of office of the High Representative, his information and consultation obligations towards the Parliament and the possibility of using EP’s legislative powers in its relations with the High Representative were analyzed.

Taking Norway as an example and a point of departure, this article looks at the ways in which the EFTA countries tackled dilemmas connected with the necessity to safeguard their interests in foreign policy against the background of the developing integration in foreign policy between the EC and, later, the EU members. The author argues that Norway, as a non-EU European country, consistently pursued a strategy typical for a ‘small country’ of the Nordic region vis-à-vis the ongoing integration of the EC/EU in the area of foreign affairs. After the end of the Cold War, Norway faced a potential threat of declining interest of the transatlantic community and the NATO in the Northern area. The EU enlargement in 1995 considerably limited the possibilities for Norway to coordinate foreign policy with other Nordic countries. For these reasons, Norway supported the development of the EU’s CFSP/CSDP as a tool complementary to the NATO in order to enhance its security. Institutionally, it chose a pragmatic model of selected approximation to the EU’s foreign and defence policy, especially for political dialogue, declarations, sanctions, as well as the CDSP’s civilian and military operations.

The subject of the article is the debate on the new external security strategy, which has been ongoing in the European Union since 2012. It presents the position of the European Council and the Council for Foreign Affairs, the European Commission, the European Parliament as well as the Interparliamentary Conference for a Common Foreign and Security Policy and Common Security and Defence Policy. In so far as these first two institutions play a decisive role in shaping a common security and defence policy, the influence of the next two is still limited, in spite of the fact that it has increased since the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty of 13 December 2007. In turn, the Interparliamentary Conference, whose members include representatives of the European Parliament and national parliaments, functions only as an advisory body in this area.
