Frankfurter Allgemeine has taken part of documents detailing plans to introduce the euro in all member countries by 2025.
According to Frankfurter Allgemeine, the officials discussed a target that would force all EU members to join the euro by 2025.
The idea would be to give the EU-parliament "democratic control" over the euro area's fiscal policy, as opposed to the current setup, where euro area finance ministers make decisions behind closed doors.
