Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Calls for the main citizens’ recommendations in the field of foreign and security policy, notably the need to switch to more efficient decision-making, through the use of qualified majority voting (QMV) instead of unanimity, and the need to improve the Union’s methods to impose sanctions, to be incorporated in a Treaty change; underlines that switching to QMV will ensure that the EU - instead of going with the lowest common denominator - acts quicker and more deliberate and will also shield the EU from third-country pressure and divide- and-rule tactics; stresses that this will help the EU develop into a credible geopolitical power, increase the effectiveness of its external action and hence will also strengthen the influence of Member States in an unstable, rapidly changing and increasingly multipolar world; recalls that Article 31(2) TEU, which is designed to ensure that no Member State could be imposed a decision on issues vital to its national interests if QMV were to be used in CFSP, would remain applicable;
