By 2048, countries belonging to the European Union may fall out of the "Big Seven". All the fault - the fall of the economy. This forecast was made today by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker after meeting with Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila in Helsinki.

Currently, the G7 of the “Europeans” includes the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and France, as well as the USA, Canada and Japan.. "In the coming decades, we will lose economic weight. If today it is (the share of EU GDP in the world economy is red. ) it is approximately 22-23%, in 20 years it will be 15-16-17%. And after 30 years, no country in the European Union will be a member of the G7 ", - quoted the head of the EC.

Juncker believes that EU states should work together to prevent the decline of the significance and economic influence of the European Union. Recall that now London is in talks with Brussels about the withdrawal of the UK from the EU after the last summer of 2016.. the referendum, which resulted in the majority of Britons voted in favor of this decision. Thus, Mr. Yunker would also be worth expressing not only the preservation of the influence and economic weight of the union, but also the prospects for its existence in three decades..
