This seems to be a substantive change from earlier versions of this directive, in which the start and end of summer time was standardized, but not whether a Member State actually adopted it or not. Or do I misunderstand?
The previous directives also include much the same requirement for a summer-time period in all Member States.
So Member States have no choice: they must observe summer time? (Just trying to nail this down.) Presumably, however, the actual time zone is still a national option. -- There is / one art || John Cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> no more / no less || http://www.reutershealth.com to do / all things || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan with art- / lessness \\ -- Piet Hein
