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
Time
1:00 C-Eur CE%sT 1919 Jul
1:39:00 - TMT 1921 May
2:00 - EET 1940 Aug 6
3:00 - MSK 1941 Sep 15
1:00 C-Eur CE%sT 1944 Sep 22
3:00 Russia MSK/MSD 1989 Mar 26 2:00s
2:00 1:00 EEST 1989 Sep 24 2:00s
2:00 C-Eur EE%sT 1998 Sep 22
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... ;-)
