Abstract
The European Union is facing external challenges of major implications for its success. The European Union cannot become an island of a common market without a strong voice in the world to protect its interest and the interest of the member states of the organization. The EU needs pushing forward the European model of society, as human rights, protection of the environment or any other policy that influences other parts of the world, but also the own Union. Obviously, currently, there is an unbalance situation between the historical and economic international influence of Europe and its power politically, based on the cooperation model of the EU external policy. The necessity of further integration is a must in all the areas implicated in foreign affairs in the EU, from trade to development, a wide political spectrum needs more coherence that can be achieved by speeding up the integration process.
