This story sounds like a rather bad extrapolation from what they said would be required.

Placing 50 billion euros worth of real assets in a kind of trust fund to be managed and/or sold. Doesn't sound like the same plan, to be honest.

At the same time, the unstated assumption is that a good faith effort was made in the past to sell assets. I like my news stories to state explicitly the crucial bits necessary for the story to say what it's supposed to say, rather than having me simply assume that what's to be proven in the story is true because it's presupposed.
