Ambassadors of the European Union


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below are current ambassadors of the European Union to third countries and international organizations.
They are also known as delegation heads or envoys. Previously to the Lisbon Treaty, the EU was represented
abroad by the Ambassador of the country holding the semestral EU presidency, and the European
Commission was represented by a Head of Delegation of the European Commission, member of the
diplomatic corps and given the tile of ambassador as a courtesy. Since 2010, the Ambassador of the
European Union, now officially accredited as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, is appointed
by the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission, following a
proposal by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. He/she is chosen
among candidates coming from the European Union External Action Service (EEAS), the European
Commission, the European Council and the 28 Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Member States of the
European Union.
