Abstract

This paper aims at analysing the position of the High Representative within the European Commission as seen in the example of the 2014–2019 term and the Commission constituted in December 2019 (2019–2024 term). The article’s purpose consists in establishing whether and how specific functions of this body – carrying out the common foreign and security policy (CFSP) and strengthening the consistency of all of the Union’s external action – are taken into account in establishing specific tasks of the HR/VP within the European Commission and his relations with the other Members of this institution.
