BRUSSELS, Sept 30 (Reuters) - The European Commission said on Tuesday the United States must live up to its special responsibility to solve the global financial crisis and called for swift enactment of a bailout plan for the financial sector.
A Commission spokesman said the 27-nation European Union was disappointed at the U.S. House of Representatives vote rejecting a $700 billion rescue package for distressed banks and financial institutions.
"The U.S. must take its responsibility in this situation," spokesman Johannes Laitenberger told a news conference. He said rescue measures agreed by European governments for three troubled banks showed that public authorities in Europe can "live up to the task of providing financial stability".
