[HCDX] URUGUAY time to change UTC-3 to UTC-2, effective Sept. 19, 0300.

["Horacio A. Nigro" <hanigro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

URUGUAY. Country time will change from UTC-3 to UTC-2 from 0300 Sun 
Sept. 19, in benefit of power saving. This measure hadn't been 
taken for several years, but energy crisis has forced the government 
to take this decision. 

The decree hasn't been signed as of today. The normal UTC will come
back probably at the end of the summer, March, so should it would 
span all the spring and summer.

Restaurant owners, mainly in Punta del Este, the main seaside resort, 
are protesting since they will lose clients.

When I have the change back date I will inform.

This Daylight Saving Time is a extraordinary measure. It
doesn't mean that next year we will have DST again. It
all depends on the price of petrol and local rains.(Nigro, Uruguay,
Sept. 13)
