Spain, Portugal push for full banking union as Germany finds hurdles

BRUSSELS/MADRID May 13 (Reuters) – Spain and Portugal called
on Monday for the euro zone to complete a banking union as
Germany underscored legal hurdles before a central element of
the plan to deal with failing banks can be introduced.

“It is indispensable that we stick to the agreed calendar on
banking union and that we take steps to make sure families and
small companies receive credit,” Spanish Prime Minister Mariano
Rajoy told reporters.
