  In the year 2000 the four LEP experiments collected data at centre-of-mass
energies between 200 and 209 GeV, integrating approximately 870 pb-1 of
luminosity, with about 510 pb-1 above 206 GeV. The LEP working group for Higgs
boson searches has combined these data with data sets collected previously at
lower energies. In representative scans of the parameters of the Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the mass limits mh>91.0 GeV and mA>91.9
GeV are obtained for the light CP-even and the CP-odd neutral Higgs boson,
respectively. For a top quark mass less than or equal to 174.3 GeV, assuming
that the stop quark mixing is maximal, and choosing conservative values for
other SUSY parameters affecting the Higgs sector, the range 0.5<tanbeta<2.4 is
excluded. Additionally, the results of flavour-independent searches for
hadronically decaying Higgs bosons are included, allowing exclusion of MSSM
models with suppressed decays of the Higgs bosons to pairs of b quarks.
