I agree there are some advantages to doing it up at least a year in advance ... last Friday (May 31) I received a 1997 wall calendar I ordered in mid-May, and this calendar had a copyright date of 1995. In the Nautical Almanac, whose timezone records I have back to the early 1960s, the timezone list is usually updated to late in the THIRD calendar year before the year the almanac is printed for, and although they state that "in general no attempt is made to list the beginning and end of summer time, as they are subject to frequent changes on short notice" they do give the dates for the US and UK, often erroneously because of changes made after the date of publication ... for example the UK in the mid-80s is listed as ending Summer Time on the second Sunday in October because of a deal with the EC that apparently fell through, and the US is listed on DST all year from 1974 January 6 to 1975 October 26, as called for in the Emergency DST Act of 1973, while not mentioning the later law that was passed (by angry popular demand, which I would like to think I had a part in forming, at least locally) in late 1974 calling for a reversion to Standard Time from 1974 October 27 to 1975 February 23. >>Personally, I think time zone changes are of sufficent importance that there >>ought to be constitutional language requiring a public referendum in the >>affected area before a change in rules is made. >Constitutional language is hard to find in the UK, Good point. In that case insert phrase "Act of Parliament" in lieu. Here in California our state's constitution forbids a number of acts, without a referendum and allows for people to propose ballot measures "the initative." I understand a number of European countries provision for referenda in their constitutions, and the UK had a referendum once on Common Market membership. >and I doubt that summer time would be high on the list of priorities if we >did choose to invent some. :-) Depends on the situation. In the UK's current situation, or in 83% of the US, it's not a high priority; but it would be if the UK were on CET, it would be, just as it was in Portugal. >[re: `option 2', the UK moving an hour forward, both summer and winter] >The pressure for this change >seems to be coming from a vociferous pressure group within the UK. One would think they would have learnt their lesson in 1968-71, just as the US did in 1974. After the 1974 DST mess virtually nobody advocated favoring year-round DST, although, of course, a movement started in 1975 for an increased summer time period which achieved success in 1986, as from 1987 the US began DST on the first, instead of the last, Sunday in April. But YRDST has very little support in the US, judging by letters to papers and proposals in Congress post-1975 versus pre-1973, where a bill in Congress calling for permanent YRDST "New Standard Time" was introduced in 1972, the same year another bill calling for the contiguous USA to adopt a standard time of GMT- 06:30 throughout, the equivalent of DST and a half on the West Coast plus an extra hour in summer, the same situation Portugal just decided to dump. Of course, by 1996 about a third of the population would have had no personal memory of their countries' respective YRDST experiences. >The government have been too timid ever since the consultation exercise >about this in 1989 to make any decision, the matter is officially `under >constant review'.

I would be interested in seeing or knowing where I could get copies of any official docs on this. Was the matter discussed in The Times? (London) Interesting that the European system allows member nations to set their own zone, but makes summer time mandatory, the opposite of the American system (Uniform Time Act of 1967, as amended) makes the zone set by the federal government while allowing states to opt out of the 'advanced' (summer or daylight saving) time provision. >I reported back in February the results of an >email exchange with Martin Bruckmann in Portugal <martin(a)ci.ua.pt>.

Actually Portugal's delay is about 30m compared to solar time (make that about 40m on the coast)so they, like Ireland, really ought to consider going on GMT- 0:30, as that meridian runs through them and GMT doesn't.

The reason it was done this early is largely because the seventh directive was produced quite late, 30 May 1994. This didn't leave much time for National Governments to enact their own legislation. For example the UK Summer Time order wasn't made until 2 November 94, and that was for the 1995 dates. This caught out many diary publishers as in 1995 the UK ended summer time on 22 October, the 4th Sunday, rather than the more traditional Sunday after the 4th Saturday (29 Oct). Even May of the year before is a bit late for timetable planning. The reason it was late was that the sixth directive only said that the Council of Ministers, acting on a proposal from the Commission, would produce a directive by 1 Jan 94. The Commission didn't produce its proposal until 27 Sep 93, not leaving much time for the rest of the process. In retaliation, the Council specified a two step process for producing the next directive, the Commission to produce proposals by 1 Jan 96, and the Council to finalise it by 1 Jan 97. > Personally, I think time zone changes are of sufficent importance that there > ought to be constitutional language requiring a public referendum in the > affected area before a change in rules is made.

Personally, I would suggest another orifice, I too am no fan of this idea. :-) The problem isn't with the Commission pushing this idea on the UK government. Our current government is quite capable of telling the Commission to get stuffed (currently, with beef offal :-). The pressure for this change seems to be coming from a vociferous pressure group within the UK. The government have been too timid ever since the consultation exercise about this in 1989 to make any decision, the matter is officially `under constant review'. My guess is that if they do decide to change they would try very hard to blame the change on the Commission and the EU in general, hence the prominent notes by the Commission in this survey report saying `nothing to do with us gov'. > >With Portugal having rejoined the UK and > >Eire in the GMT zone I still can't see the UK changing. > > I heard that the Portuguese equivalent of the Parent Teachers Association had > a lot to do with getting Portugal back on GMT.

8th EU directive, UK on CET, Port. PTA

DST is a complicated subject for people who have forgotten basic math, and the majority of the population will frequently support a time rule change proposal until they see it implemented and they find out that that extra hour of light in the evening results in getting up in total darkness only AFTER the rule change is made. A great example occurred in the US during the winter of 1973-4, when the spring DST change was moved from April to January 6. Polls taken in December showed >70% of the American public in favor of the earlier start; polls taken in late January, after three weeks of most people getting up before nautical twilight, showed >70% in favor of going back on standard time. Personally, I think time zone changes are of sufficent importance that there ought to be constitutional language requiring a public referendum in the affected area before a change in rules is made. >It says, as did the 7th directive, that these dates/times don't apply to >overseas territories of the Member States. One would hope not, as a number of such territories are tropical and have <1 hour difference between earliest and latest sunrise, or south temperate and would be on standard time in summer and daylight time in winter. BTW, my contacts in Australia inform me that the .au states that use DST all used the last Sunday in October to the last Sunday in March, the opposite of the EU dates. Personally, I would be in favor of a world agreement to use the last Sundays in March and September to go on and off; if one is going to use DST Down Under, September to March, in the northern hemisphere, March to September. That would mean the time relations would only shift twice a year. >Attached to the proposal is a report from the Commission on .. >summer time in the EU which is interesting from a UK perspective.

The UK was on European time (so-called "British Standard Time" or summer time all year) from 1968 to 1971, and I remember the (loud and totally justified) protest against it. Sunrise in Scotland and parts of Ireland (the Republic went along with the North) was delayed until >10 a.m. in winter. I remember one brief letter to The Times (London) which summed up the silliness of the whole idea of putting the UK on European Time: "there are about 3,000 telephone links between Britain and the Continent. Why do we need to get 55 million people out of bed in the dark to answer them??" The 'option 2' proposal would in fact be worse than BST; it would be summer time in the winter with double summer time from the last Sundays in March to October. The UK did this only during the shortages-of-everything-including- energy of World War II, and even then the double summer time period was shorter (about four months in high summer) than double summer time as Central European Summer Time. >The UK government still hasn't formally decided what to do about this issue. >I am sure they just wish it would go away so they never have to decide. Tell the Commission, in polite diplomatic language of course, to blow it out their ear, to use a common American expression, and have the British representatives to the Commission propose that Spain, France and Benelux go back on GMT, which is the astronomically correct time zone for those countries and the zone they were on pre-1940. (Well, maybe not Benelux, as neither 0 or 15E runs through them and their standard was 15m or 20m fast on GMT 1919-39). >With Portugal having rejoined the UK and >Eire in the GMT zone I still can't see the UK changing.

Proposal for an Eighth European Parliament and Council Directive on Summer-Time Arrangements
by peter＠aldie.co.uk May 30, 1996

May 30, 1996

The long march towards the next, eighth, EU summer time directive has begun. The last directive told the Commission to produce proposals for the next directive by 1 Jan 96. These people have no concept of deadlines so they finally got around to it on 25 April. It proposes no change to the current rules of last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October, always at 01:00 GMT. It proposes that the directive should run for four years and gives dates as follows: year start end 1998 29 Mar 25 Oct 1999 28 Mar 31 Oct 2000 26 Mar 29 Oct 2001 25 Mar 28 Oct It says that having it run for four years is important to the transport industry, etc. This wording appeared in the proposal for the seventh directive but that was eventually knocked back to only three years. This one may go the same way. It says, as did the 7th directive, that these dates/times don't apply to overseas territories of the Member States. The document reference is COM(96) 106 final. Attached to the proposal is a report from the Commission on the application of summer time in the EU which is interesting from a UK perspective. It seems to be enthusiastically in favour of what it lists as `option 2': the moving of the UK into the central European timezone. The effect is slightly spolied by prominent notes at the start and end to the effect that the timezone that Member States inhabit is nothing whatever to do with the Commission. The UK government still hasn't formally decided what to do about this issue. I am sure they just wish it would go away so they never have to decide. With Portugal having rejoined the UK and Eire in the GMT zone I still can't see the UK changing. Peter Ilieve peter(a)aldie.co.uk

Simultaneous zone and DST changes
by ado May 15, 1996

May 15, 1996

The basic challenge with places such as Stanley (where a time-zone shift and a DST change were done at the same instant in 1985, resulting in no change of wall clock time) is that there's an hour when such a place is neither fish nor fowl. Here's a table summarizing what's happening on September 14/15 1995 in five different circumstances; each row of the table gives data for a particular instant in time. The circumstances: 1. What's happening in places that run on GMT 2. What's happening in (hypothetical) places that always run on EST/EDT using Falkland rules 3. What's happening in (hypothetical) places that always run on AST/ADT using Falkland rules 4. What zdump tells us is currently produced by zic for Stanley 5. And what we (presumably) really want for Stanley. =============================================================================== GMT-------|Always-ExT-----|Always-AxT-----|Stanley (now)--|Stanley (wanted) 15 2:59:59|14 23:59:59 EST|14 22:59:59 AST|14 23:59:59 EST|14 23:59:59 EST 15 3:00:00|15 01:00:00 EDT|14 23:00:00 AST|14 23:00:00 AST|15 00:00:00 ADT/EST 15 3:59:59|15 01:59:59 EDT|14 23:59:59 AST|14 23:59:59 AST|15 00:59:59 ADT/EST 15 4:00:00|15 02:00:00 EDT|15 01:00:00 ADT|15 01:00:00 ADT|15 01:00:00 ADT =============================================================================== The "Stanley (wanted)" stuff matches neither the "Always ExT" stuff nor the "Always AxT" stuff (regardless of whether you pick ADT or EST for Stanley to use as a time zone abbreviation during the strange hour). Among the ways to get from "Stanley (now)" to "Stanley (wanted)": 1. Hard code the transition hour--that is, where there are now lines that read... Zone Atlantic/Stanley -3:51:24 - LMT 1890 -3:51 - SMT 1912 Mar 12 -4:00 Falk A%sT 1983 May -3:00 Falk E%sT 1985 Sep 15 -4:00 Falk A%sT ...add a line to cover the hour in 1985...

proposed tz changes for Armenia, Italy, Krasnoyarsk v Tomsk, `EU' name
by Paul Eggert May 6, 1996

May 6, 1996

Here are some more proposed changes to the tz database. * Change `Kabul' ruleset to `RussiaAsia' and `Gaza' ruleset to `EgyptAsia'. This is partly for consistency in naming, partly to avoid errors when running `zic asia' by itself, since `asia' currently uses `Russia' without defining it. * <edd(a)AIC.NET> reports that Armenia stopped using DST this year, and he also requested a different time zone name. * Rename `EC' to `EU'. This was suggested by Peter Ilieve. * Adjust DST rules for Europe/Rome (and for M-Eur) in the light of a new table for Italian DST published by F. Pollastri. This affects some transitions between 1916 and 1945 inclusive. * Rename Asia/Tomsk to Asia/Krasnoyarsk, since the latter is a much larger representative for that zone. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/asia,v retrieving revision 1996.7 retrieving revision 1996.7.1.1 diff -c -r1996.7 -r1996.7.1.1 *** asia 1996/05/03 02:49:56 1996.7 --- asia 1996/05/06 08:15:25 1996.7.1.1 *************** *** 30,37 **** # 3:00 AST ADT Arabia* # 3:00 BSK BSD Baku (was 4:00)* # 3:30 IST IDT Iran # 4:00 TBSK TBSD Tbilisi (was 3:00)* - # 4:00 YSK YSD Yerevan (was 3:00)* # 4:00 GST GDT Gulf* # 4:30 AFT Afghanistan* # 5:00 ASK ASD Aktau (was SHSK, SHSD)* --- 30,37 ---- # 3:00 AST ADT Arabia* # 3:00 BSK BSD Baku (was 4:00)* # 3:30 IST IDT Iran + # 4:00 AMST AMDT Armenia (was 3:00) (was YSK, YSD)* # 4:00 TBSK TBSD Tbilisi (was 3:00)* # 4:00 GST GDT Gulf* # 4:30 AFT Afghanistan* # 5:00 ASK ASD Aktau (was SHSK, SHSD)* *************** *** 70,80 **** ############################################################################### # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S !
