For decades, there have been repeated movements to return to the actual time zone.Ĭountries in Central European TimeCET time applies to the following countries: In 1942, the country deliberately left the Western European time zone and adopted the Central European one. Like Portugal, Spain should actually be in the Western European time zone. Here, you are about one and a half hours behind the actual solar time, which is why it gets light there 1.5 hours later and dark later than on the 15th degree longitude. This difference is greatest in the extreme west of Spain. All countries to the west of Germany, including the Netherlands and Belgium, would therefore have to be in a different time zone to have a time appropriate to the position of the sun. To have a uniform time zone in Europe, all Central European countries, as well as France and Spain, joined the time zone. This crosses Germany in the extreme east near Görlitz. The time zone UTC +1 is valid for Central European Time, i.e., UTC +2 is reached in summertime.Ĭentral European Time was set to correspond to the mean solar time at the 15th longitude (east).
