EU Summer Time update
by Peter Ilieve June 8, 1994

June 8, 1994

The European Union bureaucracy has edged a step closer to a 7th Directive on summer-time arrangements. I have the text of a Common Position ((EC No 9/94) and a statement of the Council's reasons dated 4 March 94, reported in the Official Journal of the EC, No. C 137/38--41. Since I reported on the draft directive in March, 1998 has been removed from the scope of the 7th directive and the introduction of a common end date at the end of October has been brought forward to 1996 from 1997. No actual dates have changed. The dates again: Year Start End End (UK & Eire, 1995 only) (rule) (last Sun) (last Sun) (4th Sun) 1995 26 March 24 September 22 October 1996 31 March 27 October 1997 30 March 26 October In the statement of reasons it said the Council had rejected an amendment from the European Parliament relating to having a single timezone for the whole EU, noting that the Commission had said it was beyond the scope of the directive. It still looks unlikely to me that this idea, put forward in the UK from time to time, will ever come to pass. Normally each directive includes a provision that a new directive will be in place on 1 Jan of the last year covered by the preceeding one. This is always ignored, here we are in June and we still don't have the directive promised for January. This Common Position breaks new ground in that it tells the Commission to have proposals ready by 1 Jan 96, so a new directive can be adopted by 1 Jan 97. We will have to wait and see if this makes any difference. I think this is the final step before the directive is adopted but the Edinburgh EC Information Office could still give no guess as to when that might be. Peter Ilieve peter(a)memex.co.uk

proposed corrections for Russia, Ukraine, Bahamas
by eggert＠twinsun.com June 3, 1994

June 3, 1994

The letter from "Andy J. Chichak" <chch(a)gateway.tiasur.tomsk.su> about Tomsk prompted me to check the Russian time zone data more carefully. Unfortunately it's a mess, as Shanks was published in 1991, a year that saw chaos in Russian time zones. Though it's hard to know what the correct rules are, it _is_ clear that the rules I submitted last year to the tz database are incorrect, since I got lost with the +1hour -1hour business and ended up omitting a timezone just west of the Urals. Given Chichak's comments about being N hours away from Moscow, I decided that the most likely possibility is that Russia kept in synch with Moscow (for which we already have a detailed post-1991 update from "Andrew A. Chernov" <ache(a)astral.msk.su>). I'd guess also that Belarus followed suit, but (as described below) we know that Ukraine did not, so I'd guess the other western bits of the ex-Soviet Union stuck with EET instead of Moscow time. We have no data on Central Asia and the Caucausus, so I'd guess we should stick with the pre-1991 rules for it until we have more data. The following proposed corrections insert that missing timezone (its biggest city is Kuybyshev) and bump the remaining Russian timezones by one; this gives the proper value for Tomsk and Novosibirsk as reported by Chichak. The latest _Economist_ reports that the Crimea, as part of its attempt to break away from Ukraine, has switched from Kiev time to Moscow time, so I've proposed another timezone entry Europe/Simferopol to take this into account. Also, more people seem to be calling Macedonia ``Macedonia'' instead of the odd ``The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia'' moniker that was first pasted on it, so I think we should call it by its common name. Finally, there is a minor typo in the Bahamas entry. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/northamerica,v retrieving revision 1994.4 retrieving revision 1994.4.1.1 diff -c -r1994.4 -r1994.4.1.1 *** northamerica 1994/02/07 14:57:50 1994.4 --- northamerica 1994/05/29 04:38:57 1994.4.1.1 *************** *** 629,635 **** # Bahamas # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S !
