BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s president says EU leaders are ready to do whatever necessary to save the embattled euro currency.
Herman Van Rompuy says the heads of state of the 27 EU members “stand ready to do whatever is required to ensure the stability of the euro zone.” He gave no immediate details.
He spoke after EU leaders agreed in Brussels on Thursday to change their central treaty to allow for a permanent rescue plan for countries overwhelmed by debt. They haven’t agreed on details of the mechanism yet, including how much money will go into it.
