Berlin (dapd). Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle has praised the decision of the Constitutional Court to the euro rescue screen ESM. "This is a wise decision in the pro-European spirit of our Constitution," the FDP-politician declared on Wednesday in Berlin. The work of the Government for the euro and Europe go further. The limit of liability to no more than 190 billion euros imposed by the Federal Constitutional Court was right and necessary. "The German power should not be overwhelmed."

Further, he stated: "The Federal Constitutional Court has confirmed the policy of the Federal Government and declared constitutional." "This is good for Germany and good for Europe." First light at the end of the tunnel is visible. "We must not allow to now in our determination to overcome the debt crisis together with budgetary discipline, growth orientation, and European solidarity."

After the Karlsruhe judgment, Germany may join the permanent euro rescue screen ESM under certain conditions. The Court has ruled that a ratification of the ESM Treaty is only allowed if under international law it is certain, that Germany's capital on the ESM actually to €190 billion remains limited.
