Spory kompetencyjne wokół urzędu Wysokiego Przedstawiciela Unii Europejskiej do Spraw Zagranicznych i Polityki Bezpieczeństwa

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the determinants that have led to the establishment of the Office of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and the analysis of the range of his responsibilities regarding institutional disputes over power between the Council, the High Representative and the EU Commission, and between the President of the European Council and the High Representative, as well as between the presidency and the High Representative. These considerations make it possible to present the conclusions on the theoretical and practical opportunities for the High Representative to act both internally, that is in Brussels, and externally, on the international arena.
