The European Commission published a White Paper on the future of Europe. The White Paper outlines possible drivers of change and scenarios in which the current 27 member states could evolve by 2025. The White Paper reviews possible changes that could occur over the next decade, such as the impacts of new technologies on societies and jobs, doubts about globalization, security concerns and the rise of populism. The White Paper outlines a non-exhaustive list of five possible scenarios by which the EU could evolve, entitled: (i) Carrying On; (ii) Nothing But the Single Market; (iii) Those Who Want More Do More: (iv) Doing Less More Efficiently; and (v) Doing Much More Together. The White Paper forms part of the Commission’s contribution to the Rome Summit. Following the Summit, the Commission, the European Parliament and interested Member States will host a series of “Future of Europe Debates” across Europe.
