Regarding the five scenarios presented by the European Commission for the future of the EU, Pons said the EPP believes "a sixth scenario could also be possible merging the other five, because they are not mutually exclusive."
"Nobody should forget that the Union is already our present, and now we have to decide which way we want to go in the future in order to deal with common challenges such as globalization, the generational gap, terrorism, climate change, the migration and refugee crisis, and the rise of nationalism and populism," he added.
The second largest political group in the European Parliament, the Socialists and Democrats group (S&D) called on Juncker to fight for a stronger, united and progressive Europe.
"We are disappointed with the European Commission white paper. We consider it a mistake to simply present five possible scenarios for the future of the European Union, instead of singling out a strong and comprehensive choice to fortify ourselves against the current storm we are facing," S&D leader Gianni Pittella said following Juncker's presentation
"The Socialists and Democrats only see one option: to work together as Europeans and do much more together, because together we are stronger," he stated. "We cannot accept the sacrifice of a common European future as a result of the short-sightedness of the Council or because of a fear of possible outcomes of national elections."
The third largest group in the European Parliament, the European Conservatives and Reformists group (ECR), said it believes the right future for Europe is neither a break-up nor a super state.
