The German plan for a eurozone insolvency procedure has spooked the markets and drawn political fire. In this CER briefing note, Katinka Barysch explains why Berlin is unlikely to back down: the German constitutional court could forbid an extension of existing bail-out funds; making help available without the spectre of bankruptcy could encourage reckless behaviour; and the German parliament will insist on getting private investors involved in future bail-outs.
