In the wake of the Brexit referendum, the European Commission published a white paper on the future of Europe. The document detailed five scenarios for moving the European Union forward in its future integration efforts. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker framed the paper as a starting point “for a united Europe of 27 to shape a vision for its future.” The white paper begins the process for EU27 to determine a coherent course of action before European Parliamentary elections in June 2019.
