European Union President Herman Van Rompuy pushed back an Oct. 17-18 meeting of government leaders to Oct. 23 as the region seeks to stem the Greece-triggered debt crisis.
“This timing will allow to finalize our comprehensive strategy on the euro-area sovereign-debt crisis covering a number of interrelated issues,” Van Rompuy said today in a statement. “Significant progress has been accomplished in the implementation of the July package.”
