This paper starts with a brief history of the fluctuating external relations structures of the European Commission, before discussing the changes that were instituted under current Commission President Juncker after he took office in November 2014. The author argues that while some of the changes can be labeled as ‘fine-tuning’, the new Commission machinery on external action is bound to be more political and more closely involved in steering the foreign policy agenda.
