3. Notes that, through the EU Food Facility, the EU proved able to provide a rapid and efficient response by respecting comprehensive, transparent and democratic procedures and to play a leading role in addressing the food crisis through global coordination mechanisms.

25. Notes that the EU should have capacity to adjust and reform its internal governance structures in order to ensure a decision-making process able to reflect its plurality and create consensus; stresses the importance that a coherent foreign policy approach at EU level towards the BRICS and other emerging countries be reflected in the functioning of the EEAS; believes that the EEAS should review and strengthen strategic partnerships with individual BRICS countries, in close consultation with Parliament, exploiting their specificities and the potential for synergies and cooperation with the EU; urges the EEAS to devise horizontal and vertical coordination mechanism ...[+++]s that will enable EU foreign policy to benefit from EU institutional synergies and from the density and depth of Member States' bilateral ties with strategic partners, including the BRICS and other emerging powers; takes the view that, with regard to the BRICS, in addition to its organisation along geographical and thematic lines, the EEAS should establish an ad hoc coordinating mechanism to ensure that all individual policies towards the BRICS are compatible from a systemic point of view and that the policy lines adopted are reflected in the EU dialogue with emerged powers such as the USA, Canada and Japan; believes that the EU delegations in BRICS countries and other relevant emerging powers should liaise more closely with one another in order to ensure continuous monitoring and analysis on relations amongst the BRICS and relevant cross-sensitivities, thus enabling a more systemic approach; takes the view in this regard that EU Delegations in BRICS countries should analyse the positions of BRICS countries on governance and global challenges and on relations with other BRICS countries; believes that the EU should direct renewed efforts and resources to leading the reform process of a global system of governance and of international organisations with a view to ensuring a more inclusive consensus- ...

G. whereas the representation of the EU and its Member States in multilateral organisations, informal summits and international regimes is fragmented, often ineffective, and still varies considerably; whereas the Union's external representation has developed in a dispersed, inconsistent and rather ad hoc manner; whereas a highly fragmented external representation is likely to undermine the EU's message and commitment to effective multilateralism and global governance, and whereas weak EU competences and ineffective coordination mechanisms may prev ...[+++]ent the EU from speaking with a single voice in the international arena, thereby limiting its decisiveness and undermining its credibility; whereas the maximisation of the Treaty's full potential in the international sphere will require strong political will and flexibility on the part of the Member States concerning their representation, and whereas the EU's status in international organisations often lags behind the development of the EU's competences,

Specific suggestions for actions that the European Commission and EU agencies could take include strengthening the capacity of and cooperation between EU agencies, supporting global initiatives towards better cooperation and coordination, including Joint Action type funding in Health Programmes and developing mechanisms for coordinated funding, supporting country twinning activities, country-specific assessment of preparedness and ...[+++]networking between countries and joint meetings, and conducting cross-border exercises.
