Who thinks Westerwelle is going to allow Steinmeier to compete with him on Foreign Policy from Brussels?

If Merkel manages to get Steinmeier the job without jeopardising her coalition government with the FDP she'll have proven she's a consummate politician.

On a procedural point, the Foreign Ministers, who previously attended European Council meetings with their heads of government, will no longer do so under Lisbon (too many people round the table).
