338# 339# From the BBC via Joseph S. Myers (2004-06-27): 340# 341# Georgia moved closer to Western Europe on Sunday... The former Soviet 342# republic has changed its time zone back to that of Moscow. As a result it 343# is now just four hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, rather than five hours 344# ahead. The switch was decreed by the pro-Western president of Georgia, 345# Mikhail Saakashvili, who said the change was partly prompted by the process 346# of integration into Europe. 347 |

764# (2004-09-20): 765# The latest rumour, however, is that in 2005, when the clock changes to 766# Daylight Saving Time (date as yet unknown), the move will be a two-hour leap 767# forward (from UTC+0200 to UTC+0400) and then, in the fall, the clock will 768# move back only an hour to UTC+0300 thus effectively moving Israel's timezone 769# from UTC+0200 to UTC+0300. However, no actual draft has been put before the 770# Knesset (Israel's Parliament) though the intention is to do so this 771# month [2004-09]. |

773# (2004-09-26): 774# Even though the draft law for the above did pass the Ministerial Committee 775# for Legislative Matters three months ago, it was voted down in today's 776# Cabinet meeting. The current suggestion is to keep the current timezone at 777# UTC+0200 but have an extended period of Daylight Saving Time (UTC+0300) from 778# the beginning of Passover holiday in the spring to after the Tabernacle 779# holiday in the fall (i.e. the dates of which are governed by the Hebrew 780# calendar but this means at least 184 days of DST). However, this is only a 781# suggestion that was raised in today's cabinet meeting and has not yet been 782# drafted. |
