[G8] THE BIRMINGHAM SUMMIT: FINAL COMMUNIQU 'http://birmingham.g8summit.gov.uk/docs/final.shtml THE BIRMINGHAM SUMMIT: FINAL COMMUNIQU - Sunday 17 May 1998 [snip] 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.
