But it was at exacltly the same moment as all other EU-countries, which makes the synchronizing within the EU very easy.
So I guess there will be an EUrule which became in force also for the UK.

Brian Albinson correctly cites the 1925 (British) Act of
Parliament.  The most recent relevant Act came into force
in 1972 and the pertinent passage is:

 `the period of summer time for the purposes of this Act
  is the period beginning at two o'clock, Greenwich mean
  time, in the morning of the day after the third Saturday
  in March or, if that day is Easter Day, the day after
  the second Saturday in March, and ending at two o'clock,
  Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the day after the
  fourth Saturday in October.'

That's clear enough so what happens this year?  This year
the clocks went forward at ONE o'clock Greenwich mean time
on Sunday 27 March.  This was THREE-ways illegal: it was one
hour earlier than specified in the Act, it was on the morning
of the day after the FOURTH Saturday AND it was Easter Day
itself.
