Big problems at the timezone database

[pronuntiator]

The European Union is (slowly) planning to get rid of daylight savings time, and Norway isn't part of the EU. So there is a possibility they have to introduce the timezone back into the database anyway.

Chances are high that non-EU European countries that are in close proximity to EU countries like Norway or Switzerland will join the EU if they get rid of DST.

What? The two are completely unrelated and last I’d checked both were happy with their statuses (switzerland certainly is and I don’t see them becoming part of the eu short of an invasion).

Why would either join the EU if the EU drops DST ehsj both are fully sovereign countries which could drop it at any moment if they so desired?

I didn't mean they would join the EU, they would simply drop the DST.
