Firms in distress shall have better possibilities of survival and reconstruction instead of going bankrupt. With the possibility to start a reconstruction of the firm in distress at an earlier stage than previously, the creditors will hopefully be able to save more firms and consequently save a greater part of their outstanding amounts.
