Beschreibungen/Notizen
The author aims to retrace the European commitment of Javier Solana. After an important career in internal politics, especially as minister of Foreign Affairs of the socialist governments from the mid-eighties to the mid-nineties, Solana first became General Secretary of NATO. From this experience, he always inserted the European integration process into the wider range of transatlantic relations. His European career began in 1999, when he became first General Secretary of the Council of the European Union, High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy and General Secretary of WEU. In 2004, together with the second mandate of the previous appointments, he became head of the European Defence Agency. As far as European policy is concerned, he defended Spanish interests during the Monetary and Economic Union negotiations and during the Ioannina Compromise in 1994. He also always insists on following both these on questions of Eastern enlargements and EU relations with NATO and the Arab countries, considering and defending the Mediterranean projection of EU foreign policy.
