Germany's violation of current account surplus rules

Question for written answer E-003970-16
to the Commission
Rule 130
William (The Earl of) Dartmouth (EFDD)

Germany’s annual current account surplus has consistently exceeded 6% of GDP since 2011, placing it in violation of EU rules requiring Member States to restrict external surpluses to no more than 6% of GDP.

Will the Commission be taking the necessary disciplinary action against Germany for this repeated violation of EU rules? If not, why not?
