But, in order to be taken seriously by the US, the EU needs to bring well-developed, well-resourced policies to the table, rather than 27 half-baked ideas. So a second reason for revamping the EU’s Pakistan policy is to be able to help shape US policy rather than be a passive by-stander.
一个有效的巴基斯坦政策在某些程度上依赖于改变美国的政策。但是，为了赢得美国的重视，欧盟需要拿出设计完善而且资源配置合理的方案，而不是随随便便地提出27条不成熟的想法。因此，修改欧盟的巴基斯坦政策的第二个原因是为了能够主动协助美国制定相应的政策，而不是单纯袖手旁观。
