Slovakia's failure to ratify eurozone bailout expansion "no big drama": EU official

BRUSSELS, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- The European Union (EU) on Wednesday called on all parties in the Slovak parliament to rise above short-term politics, and support bolstering the eurozone's safety net European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) in their next vote this week.

In a joint statement by European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, the two leaders urged Slovak parties to seize the next opportunity to ensure a swift ratification of expanded powers for the EFSF.
