AKRON (May 19)—European lenders have approved an amendment to extend until June 4 the deadline for Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. to submit audited 2003 financial statements.
The statements, which in the past were completed by the joint venture after Goodyear's financial results were filed in the U.S., were previously due by May 19. The agreement means Goodyear will avoid defaults under its principal credit facilities in Europe.
