I'm fairly certain that joining the European Union in 1973 would retire such a Danish law from 1893. Especially since UTC wasn't defined when the said law was introduced, so the law couldn't have mentioned "not the UTC time". ________________________________ From: tz-bounces@iana.org <tz-bounces@iana.org> on behalf of Brian Inglis <Brian.Inglis@SystematicSw.ab.ca> Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 9:10 AM To: Time zone mailing list Subject: [tz] Danish Time not UTC According to the DK NMI DANIAmet: https://daniamet.dk/en/nmi/time-and-frequency/ "The law on time (Law No 83, 29/03/1893) prescribe that the time in Denmark is determined by mean solar time and not the UTC time." -- Take care.
