<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"At the Ecofin/Eurogroup meeting of 12/13July, the German Finance Minister, MrSchäuble, submitted a plan for the controlled bankruptcy of eurozone members, the details of which had been revealed in full the previous day by the German Der Spiegel magazine.  The plan seeks ‘the limitation of sovereign national powers’ and the ‘institutional weakening’ of an insolvent Member State and even contains the preposterous suggestion that specialist liquidators, that is to say individuals familiar with the circumstances of a state overburdened by debt or a team responsible for managing the assets of an insolvent county, be appointed by theIMF and the newly created ‘Berlin Club’ (Der Speigel, 12July2010).    In view of this:      1.  Can the Council deny that the above recommendations were among those contained in the document tabled by the German Government? Can it provide details thereof in accordance with Regulation (EC) No1049/2001(1)?      2.  Have any countries expressed disagreement with Germany’s controlled bankruptcy plan? If so, which?      3.  Does the Council consider that the German plan is accordance with the principle of conferral (Article5) and with the Member States’ constitutions?      (1)OJ L 145, 31.5.2001, p. 43."
