Chile extends DST due to drought

[Gunther Vermeir]

Hello,
I received this information from a colleague in the Oracle office in Chili:

There is a announcement on 
http://www.gobiernodechile.cl/noticias_det/?which=10062
This article is published in the official page of the Government and 
states that the Ministry of Energy announced the change in DST. Now, in 
order for it to become completely official it has to be published in 
'Diario Official'. All decrees and resolutions become official when are 
published here (www.diariooficial.cl).

 From the moment I have more information I will forward it.

Regards,
Gunther
