Ten northern European
countries in the so-called neo-Hanseatic League have warned
Italy that a reform of the eurozone including a clampdown on the
European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) may hit Italian
bonds, Dutch daily De Volkskrant said Friday.
In a position paper, finance ministers from Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Ireland, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Netherlands,
Slovakia and Czech Republic say the reform would mean greater
responsibilities for individual states for the losses they
incur.
De Volkskrant said this amounted to a "strong warning to
Italy: investors in Italian State bonds could lose their money".
