That’s an unsourced sentence at the end of an article, essentially the opinion of the author.

There’s no published EU documents to support the claim. The part above about establishing a Treasury for the euro-area is true, and the Commission always encourages Member States to join.

However there’s nothing about ending the opt-out of Member States who have one. As that would require a Treaty level change it could also be stopped very easily. Which the EU know.

I’d imagine it’s a creative interpretation of this document:

Even the vision for 2025 refers to the euro-area as a separate and distinct category than the EU.
