Sighting: Unisys Belgium "20 percent will go bankrupt" Date: Thu, 19 Feb 1998 16:06:30 +0100 (MET) To: year2000-discuss@year2000.com From: icerckel@arcadis.be (Ivo Cerckel) Subject: Sighting: Unisys Belgium "20 percent will go bankrupt" Gang: Belgium's De Financieel Economische Tijd reports on February 19, 1998 that Mr Robert Lambotte, the manager of Unisys Belgium, told them that 80 percent of all Belgian businesses donot have any plan for achieving Y2K-compliance and that 20 percent of all businesses will go bankrupt in 2000. Although, on the one hand, the timetable for the euro currency is not yet fixed, and on the other hand Y2K will strike on January 1, 2000, Lambotte reports that euro-awareness is greater than Y2K-awareness. Well, at least I will not have to refer to pacemakers in my pamphlet this week. Ivo
