EU call with Kelly buys time on laptop ban
Quote:
The European Union seemed to stave off any immediate U.S. decision Friday on extending a ban on personal electronics in airline cabins — at least until the two sides meet next week in Brussels.
A face-to-face meeting of senior figures from both sides of the Atlantic was arranged during a conference call Friday among U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and the European home affairs and transport commissioners, Dimitris Avramopoulos and Violeta Bulc. It began just after 8:30 a.m. EDT, with ministers also patched in from Germany, Italy, France, Spain, the U.K. and Ireland.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday.
