The development aid mechanism gives the EU a profile in areas such as the Middle East, for instance, where it is the biggest donor to the Palestinians.
Up to now the European Development Fund and Development Co-operation Instrument have been managed exclusively by the commission, led by Jose Manuel Barroso.
- EU turf war erupts over control of development aid, March 21, 2010, EUBusiness.com.
2. The White House has ordered the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to rely on CIA station chiefs as the primary foreign intelligence liaisons at U.S. embassies instead of giving the director of national intelligence (DNI) authority to appoint his own representatives when he sees fit.
The decision ends a turf war in which the CIA successfully defied its parent organization, ODNI, which was created to supervise and coordinate the efforts of the U.S. intelligence community after the intelligence failures that led to 9-11.
The months-long battle over which agency would represent the U.S. intelligence community to foreign governments and international organizations pitted CIA Director Leon Panetta against Dennis C. Blair, the director of national intelligence.
The bureaucratic battle began in May when Blair issued a directive that said he would choose his own top intelligence representatives at U.S. embassies overseas. Nevertheless, “the directive provided that, in ‘virtually all cases globally,’ the representative would be a CIA station chief and that, before the appointment of anyone else, CIA Director Leon E. Panetta and the local U.S. ambassador would be consulted,” reports The Washington Post. Panetta issued his own memorandum telling CIA officers to disregard Blair’s memo because the matter hadn’t been resolved yet.
