EU's Van Rompuy To Meet Finnish PM and Fin Min; Merkel
HELSINKI (Dow Jones)--European Council President Herman Van Rompuy will meet with both Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen and Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen in Helsinki Monday.
The meeting takes place ahead of Rompuy's trip to Berlin late Monday for a sit-down with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The meetings come as European officials try to resolve an impasse over Finland's insistence on receiving collateral for its contribution to a second Greek bailout.
It also comes as worries resurface over Greece falling behind on its commitments under its current bailout program.
Van Rompuy, who is increasingly seen as the point man for resolving euro-zone disputes, is due to make a press statement after his meeting with the ministers, his office said.
