The panel's level of confidence in the chemicals, oil and pharmaceutical sector declined. This is the only sector judged to have fallen behind with its preparations. Banking once again scored the highest confidence rating while the public sector beyond central government once again scored lowest. The Institute of Grocery Distribution's Initiative 2000 was singled out by the panel as a significant boost to the Index. One panel member concluded: `This is the first sector initiative where large companies are funding a programme to ensure smaller companies in the grocery supply chain will be compliant. I would expect other sectors to follow suit.' webserv.vnunet.com
