The four LEP collaborations, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, have searched for
neutral Higgs bosons predicted in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric
Model (MSSM). Their final results, including LEP1 and LEP2 data, have been statistically combined. The LEP results obtained in this manner are used to set
limits on cross-sections for event topologies predicted for Higgs boson decays.
Furthermore, they are interpreted within the MSSM for a large number of "benchmark" models including CP-conserving and CP-violating scenarios. In all
cases the combined LEP data exclude large domains of the theoretical parameter
space.
