Spørsmålene står i kø rundt Tysklands forpliktelser overfor EUs stabilitetsfond på 500 milliarder euro. Tyskland skal etter planen garantere for 123 milliarder euro, men hva hvis noen land får dårligere økonomi? Det kan bety at de faller ut av avtalen. Dermed kan det bli Tyskland som nok en gang må plukke opp regningen.

Disse scenariene er tyske medier fulle av, og de er lett å utnytte økonomisk. SPD har ikke bestemt seg.

SPD parliamentary whip Thomas Oppermann told ARD television there were still too many open questions about the plan, which parliament is due to begin debating next week.
«What happens if other countries who get aid from the package drop out? Will the German share increase then?» he said.
The government has said the German share could rise because not all EU member states would have the means to participate.
«In the worst case scenario, the Germans may have to guarantee the 440billion euros alone, and we won’t be able to do that,» added Oppermann.
«After the Lehman crisis, after the Greek crisis, we’re for the third time faced with the decision of approving packages the German taxpayer will probably have to pay for in the end.»
The opposition Greens said on Monday the plan was unlikely to come to a parliamentary vote before June.

Germany ‘might have to foot entire euro aid bill’
