He was appointed on 4 July 1999 at the <a href="/wiki/List_of_European_Councils#Cologne_1999" class="mw-redirect" title="List of European Councils">Cologne European Council</a> as Council Secretary-General and High Representative. He took up the post on 18 October 1999, shortly after standing down from NATO. The post had a budget of €40 million, most of which goes to Balkan operations. During his tenure, the position was expanded rapidly, with several more functions combined into the function of High Representative. From 25 November 1999 he was also appointed Secretary-General of the <a href="/wiki/Western_European_Union" title="Western European Union">Western European Union</a> (WEU), overseeing the transfer of responsibilities from that organisation to the <a href="/wiki/Common_Foreign_and_Security_Policy" title="Common Foreign and Security Policy">Common Foreign and Security Policy</a> (CFSP).

On 25 March 2004, Solana appointed <a href="/wiki/Gijs_de_Vries" title="Gijs de Vries">Gijs de Vries</a> as the anti-terrorist co-ordinator for the CFSP, and outlined de Vries's duties as being to streamline, organise and co-ordinate the EU's fight against terrorism. </p><p>He has negotiated numerous Treaties of Association between the European Union and various Middle Eastern and Latin American countries, including Bolivia and Colombia.
