CEDT (Central European Daytime Time) is a American invention which includes night time in Europe unless the Americans also want to give us Europeans CENT (Central European Night Time), CENTIS (Central European Night Time in Summer) and CENTOS (Central European Night Time over Summer). CENT, CEDT, GMT+2 are known to others as CEST.
I prefer MESZ Mitteleuroäische Sommerzeit (German) - or even MEST (Dutch) which also sounds in Dutch like compost or farm 'muck' and think now is an ideal opportunity for the 27 member state EU to give the entire 47 states of Europe a universally recognised series of time zones. Its wrong to leave these things to the Americans all the time :-) After all, we Europeans never ever interfere in the American's Pacific time, Mountain time, Eastern Standard Time etc. To everyone outside Europe, Europeans synchronise our switch to and from summer time (+1:00). The Americans change to their summer time at a date different to Europe. I think GMT +02:00 is more simple to understand. It also avoids confusion. -- -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
