Year 2000 computer problem

United Kingdom

The Council has published a resolution on measures to address the year 2000 computer problems. The Council invites Member States and the Commission as well as the providers of vital infrastructure to share information and models of best practice. It invites Member States to continue to monitor and report on the progress of the public sector and of key infrastructure, recognising the need to disclose information to the public. It encourages companies and industry associations to establish an open and pro-active information policy, to respond to requests for information by other organisations, and to participate in the activities of relevant international parties addressing the year 2000 computer problems. It caused Member States and the Commission to collaborate on the identification of critical cross-border infrastructure or risks and to encourage appropriate measures to be taken. (OJ C200 15.07.99)
