EU Foriegn Minister: The only way to do the job would be by breaking the law

Well that has never stopped them before. After all the Commissioners are currently on pretty dicey legal ground now.

Anyhow, according to the EU Observer this new post will be a little difficult,

"Although the Lisbon Treaty does not mention the possibility of having a deputy, and the legal service of the council, representing member states, says it would be illegal, delegating parts of the job to others is likely to be the only way to manage it."
