I won’t discuss the position of any particular country or government, it’s their view but there is a presumption in the treaty – and that’s what Mr Juncker highlighted in his speech – there is a presumption in the treaty that all member countries are supposed eventually to join except countries that are still members and have an opting out clause like the UK which is now leaving the EU altogether and Denmark.
All the others, according to the treaty, are presumed to join one day. There are also other proposals on the table concerning for example a minister, a finance minister of the EU or the Eurozone or a Eurozone budget. Why is a minister needed right now in the EU right now?
