'Y2K Day: Double Dutch slamming for Tony Blair and US government by Jonathan Lambeth The head of the Dutch effort to solve the Year 2000 problem has criticised UK prime minister Tony Blair and the US government for lacking leadership and effort in combating the bug. Jan Timmer said Blair had not done enough during his chairmanship of the European Commission over the past year and that progress in the UK on Y2K had slipped lately. "Tony Blair's effort fell short of what we would have expected in Europe. Also, his commitment to train 20,000 programmers creates the wrong impression, that Y2K is simple to solve. But that is only a part of the problem - there is still a lack of awareness and there is denial," he said. Timmer joined more than 25 global experts speaking yesterday at a day-long Internet conference hosted by Ed Yardeni, chief economist at Deutsche Bank, to mark 500 days to go until the millennium. .... webserv.vnunet.com
