Recital B
B. whereas there are currently five regional EUSRs (for the Horn of Africa, the Sahel, Central Asia, the Middle East Peace Process, and the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia), two country-specific EUSRs (Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina), and one thematic EUSR, responsible for human rights; whereas it is difficult, if not impossible, to perceive any concrete results obtained by their intervention, given that developments in the countries and regions concerned depend not so much on the EU as on much weightier external and internal factors.

Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas in the case of EUSRs appointed with mandates for specific countries, their ‘double-hatting’ with the Head of the EU Delegation there has contributed to the incoherence and inefficiency of the EU’s presence abroad; whereas, however, the deployment of further country-specific EUSRs now appears obsolete, given the strengthening of the EU Delegations via the Lisbon Treaty, which was illegitimately adopted, having been rejected in two referendums held in 2005, through which they acquired responsibility for coordination of all EU action on the ground, including CFSP policies;, a responsibility that should now rest with the Member States.
