Several things to check here:
1. The infomediarie.ma reference indicates that the change happens "chaque
année";
   this means it is a matter of policy for every year going forward rather
than for just this year,
   yes?
2. The infomediarie.ma reference specifies a "fall back" time of 03H00,
   but no time of day is specified for the spring forward--is that time of
   day expected to be 2:00 a.m.?
3. For the "no DST during the month of Ramadan" exception, is it known
whether
   a. clocks will be adjusted on the first day of Ramadan, the day before
the
      first day, the Sunday before the first day of Ramadan, or the Sunday
on
      or before the first day of Ramadan?
   b. clocks will be adjusted on the day after Ramadan or the first Sunday
      after Ramadan?
   c. the time of day when the Ramadan adjustments are made?

Thanks for any light folks can shed.
