WARSAW, March 12 (Reuters) - Poland should participate in a rescue fund if the European Union backed its creation, central bank governor Slawomir Skrzypek said on Friday.
"The European monetary fund is a German idea... I believe that if it a European Union decision, we should participate in it in some way," Skrzypek told a seminar.
With Greece battling a debt crisis, German politicians in particular have pushed the idea of a rescue fund which euro zone countries could tap on tough conditions if they faced default.
On Wednesday, ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet did not rule out the EMF idea in principle but said bank policymakers would need to look at the proposal in more depth. [ID:nLDE62A0BN]
