Scholz: no bad bank for Deutschmerz, NordLB rescue not state aid

Olaf Scholz, finance minister and vice-chancellor for Germany, said that there was 'no debate' about the creation of a bad bank in a prospective merger between Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank. He also does not believe that the recapitalisation of NordLB by the association of German savings banks would contravene EU state aid rules.
