This paper examines the possible contribution of the Treaty of Lisbon to improve the coherence of EU external relations. In particular, it discusses the transformation of the consistency requirement into a structural principle of the EU legal order, and critically assesses related innovations brought about by the new Treaty: e.g. the streamlining of EU external objectives, the rationalisation of the Union’s institutional framework, and the generalisation of the principle of sincere cooperation.
