European Union chief executive – the European commission president Jean-Claude Juncker will propose to national leaders next month a number of options for reestablishing unity after the moment of the UK triggering the Artile 50 so initiate Brexit procedure, leaving the EU.
Juncker hopes the EU27 members will be able to deepen cooperation further and faster without the entire bloc having to follow suit, but this idea has raised concerns, especially among eastern members, fearing the wealthy members may use Brexit as a pretext to cut the EU subsidies to them.
Juncker said he will argue a “multi-speed Europe” in a White Paper policy document.
