The Committee will question Mr Asquith on whether the creation of the EEAS has had a positive impact on the delivery of the EU’s aid, particularly to African States, and how well the EU’s delegations are functioning. He will also be asked about how Non-Governmental Organisations work with the EEAS, whether lobbying is better done in Brussels or in Member States’ capitals and whether its creation has affected the capacity of NGOs to act on the ground.
