EU countries weigh 'tearing apart' bloc's diplomatic service, FT reports
France and Germany are in talks to reform the European Union's 15-year-old diplomatic service. The goal is to enhance the bloc's ability to handle geopolitical crises. Discussions involve potentially shifting powers away from the EU's chief diplomat and the External Action Service. These powers could be returned to the European Commission and individual member states.
