It would be interesting to find reliable indicators about whether UTC or GMT is the basis in any given region. Even recently I've seen official decrees using the geographic terms "meridian" and "Greenwich".
UTC used in EU law to define the start and end of summer-time:

I've done this before: there's a horrible mix of GMT and UT in the different translations of that Directive, including some ambiguous cases. And the translations don't necessarily match the legal times in the countries using those languages. -- Clive D.W.
