No, that was British Summer Time before 1994 - it was the day following the fourth Saturday in October. The 9th EC Directive prescribes the start and end dates of summer time as the last Sundays in March and October respectively. The 9th Directive provides that these start and end dates should apply indefinitely. Nice that the whole world is becoming consistent. (Except for states in the U.S. like Arizona, which don't observe it at all!) |

In the Winter they are on Mountain Standard and in the Summer they switch time zones to get Pacific Daylight time. They not only observe it they switch time zones as well. |

"EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" wrote in message ... I'm curious - I knew Europe was on a different schedule, but is it consistently a week earlier than the U.S.? (For beginning "daylight saving" too?) I think so, yes. What about other countries? |

Negative for Brussels and the rest of (western) Europe, they are set back in the night from the 30st of October to the 31st of October (to be correct at 3 am on the 31st to 2 am on the 31st). Britain is different ;-) Regards, Frank |

It happens at 1am GMT on the last Sunday in October in all EU countries, west, east, north, south or wherever they are. Britain is different ;-) No. It's exactly the same as all the others. Read the EU directive he http://europa.eu.int/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexapi!prod!CELEXnumdoc&lg=EN&n umdoc=32000L0084&model=guichett and its UK implementation he http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/s...2/20020262.htm -- -- Chris. |

It's certainly a little confusing. Last summer I found myself in a Hopi village - which doesn't observe daylight saving, which was totally enclosed by the Navajo nation - which does observe it - inside Arizona. Which doesn't. |
