In this context, Greek negotiators might have considered another proposal, circulated informally by the German finance ministry, recommending that Greece receive immediate debt forgiveness, in exchange for leaving the euro temporarily. If Greece remained in the euro, no relief would be granted – a proviso consistent with the German position that debt restructuring for eurozone countries would be illegal.
在这一背景下，希腊谈判者也许想到了由德国财政部长提出的另一个方案，即建议希腊立刻获得债务豁免，条件是它暂时退出欧元区。如果希腊留在欧元区，就不会有债务纾困——这一附带条件与德国所持的欧元区国家债务重组不合法的立场相符。也许法律争议只是借口，但直接减免欧元区国家的债务在政治上仍不可行。
