Roundup: EU leaders see no deadline for fixing Lisbon Treaty
crisis
BRUSSELS, June 20 (Xinhua) -- The European Union (EU) would not
set a deadline to solve the crisis resulting from Ireland's
rejection of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU presidency said early Friday.
"It is very sure that we will not set any deadlines, not for
Ireland, not for anybody else," Slovenian Prime Minister Janez
Jansa, whose country holds the EU rotating presidency, told
reporters early Friday following the first day of an EU summit.
The two-day summit, which kicked off Thursday evening, was
dominated by the Irish "No" to the Lisbon Treaty in a national
referendum last week, which plunged the EU into a political impasse.
