Narrative:
On final approach to runway 9L; we lowered flaps from 20 to 25 degrees and received an EICAS message stating 'le flap asymmetry.' we initiated a go-around and declared an emergency. We accomplished the QRH procedure and elected to land on the longer runway 9R. We did so without further incident.
