and it clarifies the following points:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- Chile will drop DST indefinitely</div>
<div>- There will be 2 timezones: America/Santiago on UTC -3,
and Pacific/Easter on UTC -5</div>

<div>As I pointed before, there's no decree published yet; but
probably this measure will be enforced from this year</div>

<div>When I looked at the first source, the text had
changed. Now it says, "'El Gobierno ha decidido
mantener en forma indefinida un horario único en
Chile cntinental e insular', dijo el secretario de
Estado. De esta manera, la zona horaria permanente
será GMT-3 en el continente y de GMT-5 en territorio
insular." The second sentence translates, "In this
way, the permanent time zone will be GMT-3 on the
continent and GMT-5 in the insular territory."<br>
<br>
</div>
The change probably represents a clarification. The
phrase "horario único" could refer to the contrast
between the island areas and the continent, but it
could equally well refer to the contrast between the
use and the non-use of daylight saving time. I think
it's the latter.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
