摘要COREU网络是欧盟外交政策的一个研究很少但至关重要的工具，2010年向27个成员国、理事会总秘书处和欧盟委员会分发了近8500条关于欧盟外交政策的信息。本文概述了欧洲对外行动处的运作情况，并结合欧洲对外行动处的成立对其作用进行了分析。报告认为，COREU网络创造了一个信息浓汤，使驻各国首都和布鲁塞尔的官员能够更容易地参与欧盟外交政策合作，从而使在欧盟外交政策事务上实现更多合作成为可能。在总结了COREU的早期历史之后，本文描述了目前报文的流通是如何组织的，并追溯了通过EPC/CFSP的COREU报文数量的惊人上升和部分下降。然后分析了COREU信息如何有助于欧盟外交政策的政策周期，并超越CFSP的职权范围，纳入国家外交政策。最后，文章通过追溯政治委员会/政治和安全委员会的发展，展示了这一制度如何早于最近布鲁塞尔行为者的激增，并一直是其必要条件。
Abstract The COREU network is a little-studied but vitally important instrument of EU foreign policy, which in 2010 distributed nearly 8,500 messages on EU foreign policy to the 27 member states, the General Secretariat of the Council and the European Commission. This article presents an overview of its functioning and an analysis of its role, taking into account the creation of the European External Action Service. It argues that the COREU network has made it possible to achieve more cooperation on matters of EU foreign policy than would otherwise have been possible, by creating a ‘thick virtual soup’ of information within which officials based both in capitals and in Brussels can more easily participate in EU foreign-policy cooperation. After summarizing the COREU’s early history, the article describes how the circulation of messages is currently organized and traces the spectacular rise and partial fall in numbers of COREU messages through EPC/CFSP. It then analyses how COREU messages contribute to the policy cycle of EU foreign policy and go beyond the remit of CFSP to include national foreign policies. Finally, the article shows how the system pre-dates the more recent surge in Brussels-based actors and has been a necessary condition for it, by tracing the development of the Political Committee/Political and Security Committee.
