Is the ECB’s monetary policy going to have to be corrected and become less expansionary?

The ECB currently plans to make its monetary policy more expansionary (reduction in the interest rate on banks’ deposits at the ECB, resumption of quantitative easing). But is the ECB not going to have to quite rapidly make its monetary policy less expansionary? This could result from : An increasing awareness of the negative effects of zero or negative interest rates: weakening of banks, crisis among life insurers, shift of savings into money, real estate bubbles, financing of zombie firms; A more even balance of roles between monetary policy and fiscal policy, with a more expansionary fiscal policy in Germany in particular.
