Since they are the same thing, one is just an older name, why does this matter? If you want to use a single consistent term, sure, stick to UTC. But other than that, if you say GMT you mean the same time as if you say UTC.
GMT is *not* the same as UTC. Of the 22 languages that 2000/84/EC is officially written in: * 13 (BG CS EL EN ET FI HU LT LV MT PL SK SV) use "GMT" or "Greenwich"; * 7 (DE ES FR IT NL PT RO) use "universal time"; * 2 (DA and SL) use "UTC". Note that legal time in Germany is based on UTC while in Austria it is based on GMT. Denmark is "solar time for 15 degrees East". -- Clive D.W.
