FRANKFURTâA German member of the European Central Bank urged governments to halt the "fruitless" discussion over a private-sector role in granting Greece additional support, further isolating the German government's position, which it reiterated Friday, that such involvement must be a condition for more aid.
"There is no need for private-sector involvement," ECB executive board member Jürgen Stark told reporters Friday at an annual conference of ECB officials and private-sector economists and academics. "I see it only as a political issue for political reasons, not for economic reasons."

Mr. Schaeuble, Germany's finance minister should simply shut up.
