In an attempt to appease countries like Finland that won’t vote for the second Greek bailout unless they have assurance that they will be paid back, there is a plan to have non-cash, Greek government assets handed over to such countries instead.

Merkel has said to members of her Party in Parliament, “It can’t be that one country gets extra collateral.”

It’s been suggested that the Greek government should apportion a piece of government land to be given to each country that loans it money. But the Europeans themselves must realize that this makes no sense in terms of recent history such as World War I and World War II. There is a tradition of distrust on the continent. No foreign country can be allowed to seize land inside another country. That would be a reason for declaring war, especially in a place like Greece which is a powder keg ready to go off.

I can only conclude that such apportionment of land is only symbolic. No one would dare take it literally. In other words, Finland, etc. could not, would not really claim territory in Greece.
