proposed changes to tz data from 1997-02 IATA tables, etc.

Paul Eggert eggert at twinsun.com
Sat Mar 29 07:59:04 UTC 1997


Here are proposed changes for for the following countries, taken from
the changes in the 1997-02 IATA tables reported by Gwillim Law.

	Brazil
	Cuba
	Libya
	Mongolia
	New Caledonia
	Paraguay
	Sri Lanka [with transition time found via Deja News]

This change also incorporates the simpler (and hopefully more
accurate) prediction for Israel that I mentioned earlier on this list.

Also, it contains commentary updates for several locations (mostly
peri-Antarctic islands) that should be self-explanatory, and it
adds some new URL references and removes one or two dangling URLs.

! # The [European] Transport Council discussed the proposed Eighth Directive

! #
! # - The eighth directive proposal rules have been accepted.
! #   These are the same as the current rules (last Sunday in March and last
! #   Sunday in October).  The rules will run until 2001.
! #
! # - The French have had their request to abandon summer time turned down.
! #   They have been promised some sort of review in 1999 which might change
! #   the rules for 2000 and 2001.
