About Eastern European Summer Time (EEST)

Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, IANA: Europe/Athens during DST window) is the summer-time variant of EET, set at UTC+3:00 — observed from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. EEST shares the same UTC offset as Moscow Standard Time (MSK), Saudi Arabia Standard Time (AST-SA), and East Africa Time (EAT). After the 2018 EU proposal to abolish twice-yearly clock changes (postponed indefinitely), the question of whether EEST countries would permanently stay on summer time (UTC+3) or revert to year-round EET (UTC+2) remains unresolved. EEST serves the same ~50 million population as EET (Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland). Affects: ASE (Athens Stock Exchange) summer trading hours, summer-festival schedules in Greek islands (Mykonos, Santorini, Ios), Finnish midsummer Juhannus celebrations, and Black Sea cruise-ship port arrival times at Constanța Romania + Varna Bulgaria + Odesa Ukraine.

About Central European Time (CET)

Central European Time (CET, IANA: Europe/Berlin, Europe/Paris) is the civil time during winter for most of continental Western and Central Europe, set at UTC+1:00. CET serves approximately 460 million people across 26 countries: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (except Canary Islands), Sweden, Switzerland, Vatican City. CET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to CEST = UTC+2) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The European Commission proposed abolishing the twice-yearly clock change in 2018 (with most countries to be permanently on summer time CEST), but final implementation was postponed indefinitely due to Brexit and COVID-19. CET affects: Frankfurt Stock Exchange / Deutsche Börse / Eurex trading hours, Paris Stock Exchange Euronext trading, European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy meetings, FIFA Champions League match kickoff times (typically 21:00 CET), and the EU Commission Brussels working hours.
