Economic Impact Assessment. The larger rescue package containing more instruments can also only provide liquidity aid short term; it cannot solve the problems which caused the euro crisis. Any hopes that it might do so fail to recognize the fact that the real problem of the reeling euro states lies in the excessive, non-sustainably financed credit needs of not only the state but also the private sector, as has been proven by current account deficits and/or capital account surpluses of Southern European economies for years. While the rising prices of these credits indicate their weak sustainability and should therefore serve as a motivation to reduce credit needs, the EFSF focuses precisely on making such credits available at very cheap interest rates. EFSF aid is acceptable only if accompanied by a downsizing of the macro-economic current account deficits funded through foreign credits. Therefore, a restructuring of state budgets is necessary. Equally important, however, are real economy reforms, cuts in over-regulation, bureaucracy and too high unit labour costs and the promotion of innovation. Only such reforms can increase the competitiveness of the countries concerned and can help downsizing current account deficits. If EFSF aid does not provide for such fundamental reform requirements and if non-compliance with requirements is not sanctioned by the termination of further payments, then the EFSF will perpetuate the current crisis by further weakening the incentives to the affected Member States to carry out fiscal policy and real economy reforms. In fact, it is appropriate that the EFSF is subject to unanimous state decisions with regard to whether or not financial aid is granted. However, it is equally appropriate that those states which are beneficiaries must not participate in the first approval procedure regarding new financial assistance to other states. States receiving financial assistance should, unlike the provided provisions, not be entitled to participate in decisions regarding the payment of further aid tranches to those countries which received financial assistance prior to them. This increases the likelihood of the terms not being complied with. The EFSF can refinance its credit volume of 440 bn Euro only at best conditions (AAA) if Germany, Finland, France, Luxemburg, the Netherlands and Austria keep their AAA rating. Should, for instance, France lose its AAA-rating – and this is a very real possibility – then the EFSF’s capability to receive AAA-credits is reduced...
