Although article 122 is rather unspecific: Ā Ā Without prejudice to any other procedures provided for in the Treaties, the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, may decide, in a spirit of solidarity between Member States, upon the measures appropriate to the economic situation, in particular if severe difficulties arise in the supply of certain products, notably in the area of energy. They propped it up same as RBS as per aniās comments. I worked for both so have reasonable insight.Ā so to close off the point the government didnāt take control of either.Ā the ONLY reason they did either was they couldnāt allow the clearing system to collapse.Ā Ā Edited January 30, 2021 by Escobarp Quote
