The Saturn model puts the present fierce debate on enlargement and the borders of Europe into a totally different context, because the core countries would no longer find themselves being asked to accept a Europe divided into different classes of member states. The positioning of EU countries on the rings around the core would be transitory, with the aim being to facilitate overall convergence.
土星模式将当前关于欧盟扩大和欧洲边界的激烈争论置于一个完全不同的背景，因为核心国家将发现它们不再被要求接受一个被分裂成为不同类别的成员国的欧洲。处于围绕着核心国家周围的环形上的欧盟国家是暂时的，其目的是推进完全的融合。
