THE BIRMINGHAM SUMMIT:
FINAL COMMUNIQU
- Sunday 17 May 1998

Year 2000 Bug
25. The Year 2000 (or Millennium) Bug problem, deriving from the way
computers deal with the change to the year 2000, presents major challenges
to the international community, with vast implications, in particular in
the defence, transport, telecommunications, financial services, energy and
environmental sectors, and we noted the vital dependence of some sectors on
others. We agreed to take further urgent action and to share information,
among ourselves and with others, that will assist in preventing disruption
in the near and longer term. We shall work closely with business and
organisations working in those sectors, who will bear much of the
responsibility to address the problem. We will work together in
international organisations, such as the World Bank to assist developing
countries, and the OECD, to help solve this critical technological problem
and prepare for the year 2000.
