Y2K-EC - More details on Y2K in EC countries - and the answer to the quiz!! ;-)

ispo.cec.be

This is the follow-up on my previous posting on EC countries.
Here are the 8 countries mentioned, with my comments (subjective):

-----------------------------

Belgium:
belgium.fgov.be
<This is only 1 page; not a site. Belgium government probably is only seriously starting now - JM>

Denmark:
Year 2000 Plan of Action - Danish Ministry of Research and Information Technology, September 1997
fsk.dk

Ireland:
irlgov.ie

Italy:
aipa.it
(Sizing of Year 2000 projects for the three-year plan 1998-2000), Autorit… per l'Informatica nella Pubblica Amministrazione, April 1997
<This is really old :-(( - JM>

Netherlands
mp2000.nl

Spain
map.es
'La 12¦ Sesi¢n Plenaria del CSI celebrada el 23 de Mayo de 1997...'
<Still the same old page; not government site mentioned - looks pretty bad - JM>

Sweden
itkommissionen.se
<looks good and sensible; see next posting on Sweden - JM>

United Kingdom
taskforce2000.co.uk
<UK is ahead of all other countries in the EC - JM>

and now the answer!!!! who is missing:

Germany - government is mainly thinking of Euro
Luxemburg
Austria
Finland
France - they are only thinking of the big feasts on 1/1/2000, see other postings. Looks real baaad.
Greece
Portugal

So you can also see: all southern countries (France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy) are in even worse shape than northern countries (apologies for the exceptions!)
