Lithuania From Paul Eggert (2016-03-18): The 1989 transition is from USSR act No. 227 (1989-03-14). From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22): IATA SSIM (1992/1996) says Lithuania uses W-Eur rules, but since it is known to be wrong about Estonia and Latvia, assume it's wrong here too. From Marius Gedminas (1998-08-07): I would like to inform that in this year Lithuanian time zone (Europe/Vilnius) was changed. From ELTA No. 972 (2582) (1999-09-29) <http://www.elta.lt/>, via Steffen Thorsen: Lithuania has shifted back to the second time zone (GMT plus two hours) to be valid here starting from October 31, as decided by the national government on Wednesday.... The Lithuanian government also announced plans to consider a motion to give up shifting to summer time in spring, as it was already done by Estonia. From the Fact File, Lithuanian State Department of Tourism <http://www.tourism.lt/informa/ff.htm> (2000-03-27): Local time is GMT+2 hours ..., no daylight saving. From a user via Klaus Marten (2003-02-07): As a candidate for membership of the European Union, Lithuania will observe Summer Time in 2003, changing its clocks at the times laid down in EU Directive 2000/84 of 19.I.01 (i.e. at the same times as its neighbour Latvia).
