What is the fundamental function and governance framework that defines the role of the European External Action Service (EEAS) according to the Treaty of Lisbon and official EEAS texts? The EEAS acts as an autonomous executive arm of the EU Council, responsible for designing and directly applying the European Green Pact without needing to consult the European Commission. The EEAS functions as an administrative body under the exclusive supervision of the European Parliament, with the main mission of managing funds from the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism for neighborhood policy. The EEAS works under the political guidance of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (who is also Vice-President of the Commission) and its main function is to ensure coherence and coordination of the Union's international action. The EEAS is a consultative body that issues binding opinions on the internal market competition policy, acting as an exclusive intermediary between member states and the European Central Bank.
