Later today I’m taking off for Brussels, preparing for the monthly meeting of the General Affairs and External Relations Council. GAERC – as is the romantic description of this august body of the 27 foreign ministers of the European Union. When we sit down in the Justus Lipsus building in Brussels tomorrow it will be to a rather heavy agenda dominated by the Balkans and the Middle East, but certainly dealing also with Somalia and Sudan as well as pre-viewing some of the core issues for the upcoming European summit on energy security and climate change.
