Article from Industry Week, 7/6/98:


"Putting It To The Test"--
"More bad news regarding Y2K: Testing is more complicated,
expensive, and critical than companies realize."
"About half the companies we survey don't plan to test the code they've fixed for Y2K," says Lou Marcoccio, Y2K research director for the Gartner Group Inc., a consulting and research organization in Stamford, Conn. "They're just going to put it in production, and that's scary."

Spain seems to be lagging. This is one of the few government related articles I have seen so far... (I admit, I did not look extensively the last few months). But this is the first link to a spanish government article on the EC site, as far as I know.
