Dear folks,
At last, Brazilian decree on summer time for 2004/2005 is out (it can be retrieved from Presidency website at <https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2004-2006/2004/Decreto/D522 3.htm> and National Press web site at <http://www.in.gov.br/materias/xml/do/secao1/1187435.xml>).
Innovations for this year include begining of summer time on a Tuesday (2004/11/02, that happens to be a religious holiday for mourning the dead). I *really* don't believe that this starting on Tuesday will last. States are the same as last year.
Oops! Bad phrasing and serious confusion. I actually wanted to say that I don't really believe that starting of summer time on this holiday will be a practice for the years to come.
If you have doubts, contact me.
