But the summertime law which was created to fullfill the Swedish translation
of the EU directive on summertime says swedish normal time + 1h, which gives
UTC + 2h for summertime and UTC + 1h for normaltime. What the translators in
Brussles says has nothing to do with it. Regardless of what part of the year it
is, Swedish law uses UTC basis.
