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 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, IANA: Europe/London) is the historic and current civil time of the United Kingdom (during winter), Ireland (during winter), Portugal mainland (during winter), Iceland (year-round), and most West African countries. GMT is set at UTC+0 — the time on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) running through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, southeast London. Established as the global time reference by the 1884 International Meridian Conference in Washington DC, GMT served as the world's primary civil-time reference from 1884 until 1972 when UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) was adopted as the new precision standard. The UK switches from GMT to British Summer Time (BST = UTC+1) at 01:00 GMT on the last Sunday of March and back to GMT at 02:00 BST on the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC (UK retained this schedule after Brexit). GMT affects: London Stock Exchange (LSE) trading hours, BBC World Service broadcast time-stamps, all aviation NOTAMs and weather METARs which use UTC = GMT, and ICAO + IMO worldwide maritime/aviation coordination.
