EU unveils new ideas to ensure unity as UK prepares to leave
The European Commission foresees five scenarios for Europe by 2025: to carry on as it has done; function as a single market only; do less but be more efficient; allow groups of member states to advance at their own pace; or do far more together.
 
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Wednesday that "it is the start of a process, not the end, and I hope that now an honest and wide-ranging debate will take place."
 
He wants EU leaders to discuss the so-called White Paper at their summit in Brussels on March 9-10, AP reported.
