On 1 March 2017, President Jean-Claude Juncker presented the “White Paper on the Future of Europe” with five scenarios for the development until 2025. The aim of the Commission was to stimulate and structure a broad public debate. In addition, the Commission published five reflection papers to illustrate the impact of the scenarios on key policy areas. Heads of state or government of the member states, EU institutions, associations and EU citizens participated in the discussion on the white paper. A special interest in scenario 3 “Those who want more do more” can be identified - also with regard to a possible further development of the cooperation between the Euro countries. In his 2017 State of the Union Speech, Juncker himself supported a mix of scenarios and placed great importance on preventing a split between euro countries and non-euro countries.
