The original article is in French:

The approximative EN translation (Google):

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she launched a new kind of war of conquest? It's the issues that arise with the wording of statements by several members of his coalition government.

We know that Germany has used its profits to the rules of the European Union to increase its exports within the eurozone at the expense of its smaller partners, especially Greece and Portugal. This aggressive attitude, coupled with management problems, has already led Greece to the bankruptcy.

MP Frank Schäffler (FDP) said that in exchange for German help in the maintenance of Greece into the euro area and the consolidation of accounts, Athens should cede some of its uninhabited islands in Berlin.

MP Marco Wanderwitz (CDU) has said that Athens would pay for any German assistance, whether direct or she passes by the European Union. He in turn refer to the cession of territory as a bargaining chip,

The weekly mass circulation Bild am Sonntag, evokes a barter "Our money cons Corfu.

Germany has already restored its influence in the Balkans by participating actively in the wars of disintegration of Yugoslavia.

In the event of a sale forced by Greece some of its islands, it remains to determine if this deal is consistent with international law and European treaties. In other words, the financial war allows it to undertake a legal territorial conquest?

I'm wondering if this information os for real and if so, what is your opinion about a country from EU to pay with a territory from it, to get aid, as suposedly should get for free as part of a sisterly union?
