EU rescue mechanism is applied when the Irish struggled from crisis and was forced to accept the bailout in November. However, analysts warned that the number was too small to help the Spanish even if it needs to bailout.

"If the German government officially still reluctant to change the" rules of the game ", an increasing number and scope of EFSF be possible," said ING Group's records.

According to ING, if the relief valve was opened to Portugal EFSF, these funds are not considered to be enough to help Spain which will require the support of about 300 billion euros. (GoFinance)
