543
544 # From Steffen Thorsen (2008-07-10):
545 # According to
546 # http://www.lexpress.mu/display_article.php?news_id=111216
547 # (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
548 # than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start
549 # date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
550 # given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
551 #
552 # A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date
553 # to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date,
554 # but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in
555 # USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder
556 # why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which
557 # changes two days later.

522 # Follow Thorsen on DST in 1982/1983, instead of Shanks & Pottenger.
523
524 # From Steffen Thorsen (2008-07-10):
525 # According to
526 # http://www.lexpress.mu/display_article.php?news_id=111216
527 # (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
528 # than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start
529 # date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
530 # given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
531 #
532 # A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date
533 # to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date,
534 # but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in
535 # USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder
536 # why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which
537 # changes two days later.

539 # From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-07-11):
540 # Seems that English language article "The revival of daylight saving
541 # time: Energy conservation?"- No. 16578 (07/11/2008) was originally
542 # published on Monday, June 30, 2008...
543 #
544 # I guess that article in French "Le gouvernement avance l'introduction
545 # de l'heure d'été" stating that DST in Mauritius starting on October 26
546 # and ending on March 27, 2009 is the most recent one....

552 # Cabinet Decision of July 18th, 2008 states as follows:
553 #
554 # 4. ...Cabinet has agreed to the introduction into the National Assembly
555 # of the Time Bill which provides for the introduction of summer time in
556 # Mauritius. The summer time period which will be of one hour ahead of
557 # the standard time, will be aligned with that in Europe and the United
558 # States of America. It will start at two o'clock in the morning on the
559 # last Sunday of October and will end at two o'clock in the morning on
560 # the last Sunday of March the following year. The summer time for the
561 # year 2008-2009 will, therefore, be effective as from 26 October 2008
