Solana to step down

Javier Solana to step down from his position as high representative for the common foreign and security policy when his term expires in October. "I had a ten year mandate which I fulfilled... I don't mean to go any further."

He will still remain a big part of the EU as he will become the vice president of the European Commision, chairman of all the European Union foreign minister councils and the head of a new EU diplomatic service.
