BERLIN (MNI) – A senior member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s
CDU/CSU-FDP government coalition said Thursday that there should be
discussions with Greece’s creditors about a voluntary haircut on their
claims.
“We should talk with banks and other investors about voluntarily
foregoing their claims” against Greece, Leo Dautzenberg, the CDU/CSU’s
parliamentary financial policy speaker, said here.
He also demanded that Eurozone members draw up instruments
describing how to involve investors in the future in aid measures for
fiscally ailing states.
Nobert Barthle, the CDU/CSU’s parliamentary budget speaker, said on
Wednesday there was significant resistance inside the CDU/CSU
parliamentary group against aid for Greece without participation of the
creditors.
