The European Financial Stabilization Facility (EFSF), hurriedly established in May 2010 in an effort to stop the rot, will shortly be able to call on some €500 billion in the event that any more eurozone countries face serious liquidity problems. And eurozone member states have agreed to perpetuate this financial-stability mechanism from 2013 onwards, and even to amend the Lisbon treaty to avoid any legal ambiguity.
迅速的协同应对将有助于缩小危机的影响范围，从而降低损失。在2010年为防止金融形势继续恶化而紧急成立的欧洲财政稳定基金（EFSF）将很快具备筹集500亿欧元资金的能力，足以帮助那些遭遇严重流动性问题的国家渡过难关。此外欧元区成员国已同意将该财政稳定机制在2013年后转为常设，甚至愿意修订《里斯本条约》以避免出现任何法律上的歧义。
