Summary/Abstract: In the 1970s, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger asked a question that decaded European leaders for decades: "Whom to call if I want to talk to Europe." Over the last few years, this question was quoted more often and more often. This issue highlighted the extremely complex system of governance of the European Union (EU) with rotating presidencies and, accordingly, with constantly changing foreign policy representatives. It is believed that the extraordinary European Council has finally found an answer to Mr Kissinger with the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon and the changes it brings with it. In this essay I will look at the changes introduced by the new contract and whether the current US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will know whom to call when she wants to talk to Europe."Whom to call if I want to talk to Europe."
