European External Action Service
Business overview
Company backgroundThe European External Action Service (EEAS) is the diplomatic service of the European Union, managing the EU's diplomatic relations with countries outside the bloc and conducting EU foreign and security policy.
The EEAS was established in 2011 and is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. The EEAS is led by the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, who is also a Vice-President of the European Commission.
The EEAS coordinates EU foreign policy efforts, working with EU countries' diplomatic services, the European Commission, and international organizations such as the United Nations. The EEAS operates a worldwide network of EU delegations that function similarly to embassies.
The EEAS is an EU body and not a company; it is not state-owned but serves as the EU's diplomatic and foreign policy agency.
