Abstract
A speciality of contracts seems to be the small print - also in contracts between the members of the European Union. The European Stability Mechanism Treaty (ESM), concluded with the purpose to install the ESM as an international financial institution and as backstop for the Single Resolution Fund (SRF), contains in one of its articles the inconspicuous reference to a mandatory majority action clause. This clause will be modified together with the prepared amendment of the ESM treaty. This amendment offers the perfect opportunity to describe Collective Action Clauses like majority action clauses - facilitating the restructuring of debt - in general and in particular those for sovereign debt of the Euro countries including their effects on the creditors position taking into account the role of the ECB as major creditor.
