-> Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it will be observed from the

Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. 
  
-> Yes, in Europe, at least in the EU it's the last Sunday in March until the 
-> Last Sunday in October. 
  
That would imply that the start of DST is *always* a week earlier in 
Europe than in North America, which I don't think is true. I frequently 
make phone calls to England on Sundays. Very often, the UK (and the 
rest of Europe) changes time on the same date as we do, but not always. 
I have suspected that their rule has something to do with the Equinox. 
Maybe it's something like the second Sunday after March 21, which could 
be the last Sunday in March or the first one in April. I dunno...
