The German administration had already been on public record as stating
that they would eliminate Morse tests if the WRC eliminated the intl.

Perhaps the confusion arises from the fact that a survey of German hams showed
a strong majority of those responding favored keeping the Morse requirement. Of
course, just like in the USA, the govt. is not required to do what the majority
wants on an issue like code testing.
