EU spells out future eurozone bond-issue options

The European Commission is to propose an evolving system of eurozone bonds that could begin "relatively quickly" with a club-within-a-club and only partial debt-pooling, documents showed Sunday.

The EU executive will take the plunge on Wednesday with a legislative challenge to Germany to open the door on joint eurozone bonds and shared government guarantees seen as crucial to resolving the debt crisis.
