Mauritius Will Introduce Summertime Change Starting In November 2008

Sources: L'Express (Port-Louis) and Mauritius public holidays (qppstudio.net). Mauritius' Finance Minister, Rama Sithanen, has announced that Mauritius would start testing moving clocks forward one hour in the summer (aka. summer time change), from November 1, 2008, to March 31, 2009. This decision will be reviewed annually (recall that an earlier trial of the measure, in 1982, was abandoned after the first year).
