El Reglamento (UE) 2015/848 del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo, de 20 de mayo del 2015, sobre procedimientos de insolvencia, ha venido a sustituir al Reglamento (CE) 1346/2000, de 29 de mayo.

Following on from our recent blog on How the UK General Election Might Influence the Recast Insolvency Regulation’ and whether the UK will still be part of the EU in 2017 when it comes into force, we consider the ‘hokey cokey’ of the upcoming EU referendum.

The European Parliament has approved a proposal by the European Commission to modernise the current European rules on insolvency.  The new rules would ensure that cross-border insolvency procedures become more efficient and effective, creating a business-friendlier environment in Europe and promoting economic growth.

For the Netherlands, this will be bankruptcy, suspension of payments, or the debt restructuring scheme for natural persons.

On Monday 13 July 2015 the Eurozone Finance Ministers stated that they have entered into an understanding for further funds to be made available to Greece under the rules of ESM (combined with a more or less state controlled Greek trust fund for assets to be privatized) to avoid structuring a temporary Grexit. Such understanding is conditional upon the Greek parliament passing certain legislation on 15 July 2015.

Is it legally possible that Greece ceases to be a member of the Eurozone without exiting the EU and without changing the treaties which establish the European Union and what consequences would this have for existing contracts and outstanding bonds?

We consider whether it is legally possible for Greece to cease being a member of the Eurozone and what consequences such “Grexit” would have for existing trade contracts and loans with counterparties in Greece and the government bonds issued by the Hellenic Republic.
