In 1968 [23] there was a three-year experiment called British Standard Time, when the UK and Ireland experimentally employed British Summer Time (GMT+1) all year round; clocks were put forward in March 1968 and not put back until October 1971. [24] Central European Time is sometimes referred to as continental time in the UK.
Greenwich Mean Time is defined in law as standard time in the following countries and areas, which also advance their clocks one hour (GMT+1) in summer.

Pale colours: Standard time observed all year Dark colours: Summer time observed Western European Time (WET, UTC+00:00) is a time zone covering parts of western Europe and consists of countries using UTC+00:00 (also known as Greenwich Mean Time, abbreviated GMT).
This is a list representing time zones by country. Countries are ranked by total number of time zones on their territory. Time zones of a country include that of dependent territories (except Antarctic claims).
The Norwegian-Russian border and Belarus–Poland border are the only places where CET (UTC+1) borders Moscow time , resulting in a one (or two in winter) hour time change when crossing that border. There is a "tri-zone" point (where UTC+01:00 , UTC+02:00 , and UTC+03:00 meet) at the Norway-Finland-Russia tripoint , near the town of Rayakoski .
This is a list of the UTC time offsets, showing the difference in hours and minutes from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), from the westernmost (−12:00) to the easternmost (+14:00).
The following countries and territories use UTC+01:00 during the summer, between 1:00 UTC on the last Sunday of March and 1:00 UTC on the last Sunday of October.
