Yes, to some people it comes as a shock that the time in London is not always GMT. :) But "Central European Time" is easily reworded into "the current time in Europe". "Greenwich Mean Time" does not translate into "British (Summer) Time" in the same way, at least not if you just look at the meaning of the words.

I think it makes more sense to define CET as alternating between UTC+1 (standard time) and UTC+2 (when DST is observed). (See http://time.is/CET for a more elaborate definition.)
In a similar fashion, people use GMT to mean both GMT and BST (British Summer Time, UTC+1) for Europe/London, notably, Google Calendar. The amount of confusion that causes is staggering, especially among my American co-workers scheduling meetings. I'd strongly suggest you use CET for UTC+1 and CEST for UTC+2 exclusively.
