Report: EU's Solana says to step down in October

European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana said in a Spanish press interview on Sunday he will step down in October when his 10-year mandate expires.

"I had a 10-year mandate which I have fulfilled. I do not mean to go any further," the Spaniard told daily ABC. A representative for Solana in Brussels was not immediately available to confirm the report. (Reuters)
