Sorry for my translation. But to clarify a bit, in the first part of the decree reads (again, my translation): "...in which (it is) contemplated the inclusion of an alternative recommendation of time change to be implemented in 2013, and thereafter;..." I have also spoken with the person in charge of the decree redaction, and he said that the change is permanent (that is, until the next decree that changes it).

Thanks. The wording in that English translation is a bit ambiguous, but it does appear that it's more likely that the change is permanent than that it's a one-year thing. So here's a proposed tz patch to implement this, which I've pushed to the experimental repository on github. This isn't urgent, since we already have this year's transitions right; the first affected timestamp is in March 2014.
