Which just makes it the more curious that the Danish language version of
the last Summer Time Directive
<http://europa.eu.int/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexapi!prod!CELEXnumdoc&lg=da&numdoc=32000L0084&model=guichett>
specifies the start and end times of summer time in UTC, whereas the
English language version
<http://europa.eu.int/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexapi!prod!CELEXnumdoc&lg=EN&numdoc=32000L0084&model=guichett>
says Greenwich Mean Time.
