Interior Min. forecasts Y2K preparation in Poland to cost over zl. 1.16bln

Y2K preparations in Poland are being carried out in three stages which are coordination, education and correction of effects on electronic equipment. According to the Ministry the best solution to solve the Y2K problem would be for Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek to issue two decrees. The first would be mandatory preparation of Y2K emergency plans and the second on Y2K protection methods. Only then would institutions be forced to follow Ministry's regulations regarding the problem. (Rzeczpospolita, page A1, A2)
