When participants met at the conference, they were fully aware of 2 major pieces of news, a) JET had performed successfully a first Tritium injection experiment, and b) the world wide ITER engineering design activities had started. It is clear that such outstanding results would not have been possible without the knowledge acquired from the world's Tokamak experimental programme. Considering the huge amount of material presented at this meeting it is now a frightening task to summarize these results. There were 68 papers directly involved with tokamak confinement experiments. In addition 17 papers were dealing with heating and current drive and 5 papers came from other sessions. In total this summary draws its substance from 90 papers a number to be compared to a total of 225 papers in this conference.
