Furthermore, the rapporteur makes specific proposals on the most demanding foreseeable CFSP issues for 2006 such as the future status of Kosovo; the role that Africa should play in the external action of the Union; the Union's strategic partnerships with Russia and with China, including the recommendation not to lift the arms embargo with China until greater progress is achieved in the field of human rights; the role that the Union should continue playing in Afghanistan and Iraq; and the increasingly complex issue of Iran's nuclear plans and eventual referral of this matter to the United Nations Security Council.
