# From Ephraim Silverberg (2003-03-23):
#
# Minister of Interior Poraz has announced that he will respect the law
# passed in July 2000 (proposed at the time jointly by himself and
# then-MK David Azulai [Shas]) fixing the dates for 2000-2004. Hence,
# the dates for 2003 and 2004 remain unchanged....
#
# As far as 2005 and beyond, no dates have been set. However, the
# minister has mentioned that he wishes to propose to move Israel's
# timezone in 2005 from GMT+2 to GMT+3 and upon that have DST during
# the summer months (i.e. GMT+4). However, no legislation in this
# direction is expected until the latter part of 2004 which is a long
# time off in terms of Israeli politics.
# (2004-09-20):
# The latest rumour, however, is that in 2005, when the clock changes to
# Daylight Saving Time (date as yet unknown), the move will be a two-hour leap
# forward (from UTC+0200 to UTC+0400) and then, in the fall, the clock will
# move back only an hour to UTC+0300 thus effectively moving Israel's timezone
# from UTC+0200 to UTC+0300. However, no actual draft has been put before the
# Knesset (Israel's Parliament) though the intention is to do so this
# month [2004-09].
# (2004-09-26):
# Even though the draft law for the above did pass the Ministerial Committee
# for Legislative Matters three months ago, it was voted down in today's
# Cabinet meeting. The current suggestion is to keep the current timezone at
# UTC+0200 but have an extended period of Daylight Saving Time (UTC+0300) from
# the beginning of Passover holiday in the spring to after the Tabernacle
# holiday in the fall (i.e. the dates of which are governed by the Hebrew
# calendar but this means at least 184 days of DST). However, this is only a
# suggestion that was raised in today's cabinet meeting and has not yet been
# drafted.

# Denmark, Faeroe Islands, and Greenland # Denmark, Faeroe Islands, and Greenland
# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2005-04-26):
# http://www.hum.aau.dk/~poe/tid/tine/DanskTid.htm says that the law
# [introducing standard time] was in effect from 1894-01-01....
# The page http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A18930008330-REGL
# confirms this, and states that the law was put forth 1893-03-29.
#
# The EU treaty with effect from 1973:
# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19722110030-REGL
#
# This provoked a new law from 1974 to make possible summer time changes
# in subsequenet decrees with the law
# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19740022330-REGL
#
# It seems however that no decree was set forward until 1980. I have
# not found any decree, but in another related law, the effecting DST
# changes are stated explicitly to be from 1980-04-06 at 02:00 to
# 1980-09-28 at 02:00. If this is true, this differs slightly from
# the EU rule in that DST runs to 02:00, not 03:00. We don't know
# when Denmark began using the EU rule correctly, but we have only
# confirmation of the 1980-time, so I presume it was correct in 1981:
# The law is about the management of the extra hour, concerning
# working hours reported and effect on obligatory-rest rules (which
# was suspended on that night):
# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/C19801120554-REGL
# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2005-06-11):
# The Herning Folkeblad (1980-09-26) reported that the night between
# Saturday and Sunday the clock is set back from three to two.
# From Paul Eggert (2005-06-11):
# Hence the "02:00" of the 1980 law refers to standard time, not
# wall-clock time, and so the EU rules were in effect in 1980.

# expensive petroleum. The exact end date for DST is not yet
# announced, only "September" but some sites also say "mid-September".
# Some background information is available on the President's official site:

# From Paul Eggert (2005-05-01):
# The decree doesn't say anything about daylight saving, but for now let's
# assume that it is daylight saving and that they'll switch back on the
# 3rd Sunday in September.
#
# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-21):
# The Associated Press story on the time change, which can be found at
# http://www.lapalmainteractivo.com/guias/content/gen/ap/America_Latina/AMC_GEN_NICARAGUA_HORA.html
# and elsewhere, says (fifth paragraph, translated from Spanish): "The last
# time that a change of clocks was applied to save energy was in the year 2000
# during the Arnoldo Aleman administration."...
# The northamerica file says that Nicaragua has been on UTC-6 continuously
# since December 1998. I wasn't able to find any details of Nicaraguan time
# changes in 2000. Perhaps a note could be added to the northamerica file, to
# the effect that we have indirect evidence that DST was observed in 2000.
