欧盟成员国同时也是联合国等其他国际组织的成员，而且在很多情况下，它们在成为欧盟成员之前就已经是这些国际组织的成员了。在这些国际组织内，欧洲国家与其他国家一起参与，寻求通过合作解决集体问题。解决办法是通过主权国家之间的政府间谈判达成的，而不是通过使用军事力量进行胁迫。1973年12月，欧盟9个成员国的外交部长发表了一份题为《欧洲认同文件》的公开宣言，其中除其他外，呼吁成员国在国际组织，特别是联合国和各专门机构中尽可能采取共同立场。（Hill and Smith, 2000）这一呼吁是为了欧盟成员国优先合作，以一个声音说话的目标，今天在《欧盟条约》第18-20条中仍然明确。一方面，人们期望欧盟成员国协调立场，另一方面，基于共同的历史、语言、文化、地理或政治相似性，欧盟成员国仍然是其他国家网络的一部分。其中包括西班牙与拉丁美洲的联系，英国和法国分别与英语国家和法语国家的联系，以及丹麦与北欧国家集团的联系
The Member States of the European Union (EU) are simultaneously members of other international organisations such as the United Nations, and in very many cases their membership of those international organisations predates their becoming a member of the EU. Inside these international organisations European states participate alongside other states seeking to solve collective problems by cooperation. The solutions reached are through intergovernmental negotiation between sovereign states, instead of by coercion through the use of military force. In December 1973 the foreign ministers of the Nine EU Member States produced a public declaration titled the Document on the European Identity, which inter alia called for the Member States to adopt ‘common positions wherever possible in international organizations, notably the United Nations and the Specialized Agencies.’ (Hill and Smith, 2000) This call was for EU Member States to prioritise working together for the goal of speaking with one voice, and remains explicit today within Articles 18-20 of the Treaty on European Union. On the one hand there is an expectation for the EU Member States to coordinate their positions, while on the other hand EU Member States remain part of other networks of states based on shared history, language, culture, geography or political similarities. These include Spain’s links with Latin America, Britain and France’s links to the Anglophone and Francophone worlds respectively, and Denmark’s to the Nordic group of states
