About Eastern European Time (EET)

Eastern European Time (EET, IANA: Europe/Athens, Europe/Helsinki) is the civil time during winter for Eastern European countries, set at UTC+2:00. EET serves approximately 50 million people across: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine (partial, since 1990), and parts of Russia's Kaliningrad exclave (USZ1 = UTC+2 year-round, no DST). EET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to EEST = UTC+3) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC for EU member states; Ukraine and Moldova follow the same schedule but as non-EU members independently. Major EET cities: Athens (700K city, 3.7M metro), Helsinki (660K), Bucharest (1.7M), Sofia (1.3M), Riga (615K), Vilnius (590K), Tallinn (450K), Nicosia 320K), Kyiv (3M). The Russian portion of Ukraine after 2014 may use Moscow Time (MSK = UTC+3) per Russian government decree, while the Ukrainian government continues to use EET for the entire country.

About Central European Summer Time (CEST)

Central European Summer Time (CEST, IANA: Europe/Berlin during DST window) is the summer-time variant of CET, set at UTC+2:00 — observed from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. CEST shares the same UTC offset as Eastern European Time (EET) (used by Greece, Romania, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Cyprus during winter), and is one hour ahead of Western European Summer Time (WEST). The 2018 European Commission proposal to abolish DST (with countries choosing to permanently stay on either standard time or summer time) has been delayed indefinitely as of 2024. CEST serves the same ~460 million population as CET across 27 European countries. The 'spring forward' transition at 02:00 CET on the last Sunday of March is one of the largest single coordinated time changes in human history. Affects: All European TV broadcast schedules (Eurovision Song Contest broadcast time), F1 European-round race start times, summer-music-festival schedules (Tomorrowland, Sziget, Glastonbury — UK on BST), and tourism arrival/check-in times in major European cities.
