Hello,

(Google Translation)
The current time of Morocco (GMT + 1) will be suspended from next Sunday 
until July 19, announced Monday the Ministry of Civil Service and 
Modernisation of Administration.

The hour will thus be delayed 60 minutes Sunday, June 14 at 3:00, the 
ministry said in a statement, adding that the time will be advanced 
again 60 minutes Sunday, July 19, 2015 at 2:00.

The move comes under 2.12.126 Decree of 26 Jumada I 1433 (18 April 2012) 
and the decision of the Head of Government of 16 N. 3-29-15 Chaaban 1435 
(4 June 2015).

(currently the official notice isn't publish on official government 
website  http://www.mmsp.gov.ma)


I thinks that the new rule for all new ramadan period is the time change 
the Sunday (like the DST) or not the Saturday.
