Hello.

As it was expected, Estonian government decided not switch between
summer and winter time anymore since spring 2000.
Regulation no. 301 from the 12th of October 1999 obsoletes
previous regulation no. 206 from the 22nd of September 1998 and
thus sticks Estonia to +02:00 GMT for all the year round.
The regulation is effective from the 1st on November 1999:

>From now on, the zone definition for Europe/Tallinn should probably look
like this:

# Zone  NAME            GMTOFF  RULES   FORMAT  [UNTIL]
Zone    Europe/Tallinn  1:39:00 -       LMT     1880
                        1:39:00 -       TMT     1918 Feb # Tallinn Mean

                        2:00    EU      EE%sT   1999 Nov 1
                        2:00    -       EET



PS. I hope that it stays this way. Politicians tend to make pretty
surprising moves sometimes... ;-)
