<P> Some may be thought of as using "permanent" summer time since they are using time zones allocated to regions further east than themselves . Belarus explicitly decided to stay permanently on (what it formerly called) summer time after 2011 . </P> <P> Spain, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands may also be thought of as observing "summer time" throughout the winter, and "double - summer time" during summer, because of their position far to the west of the central European time zone . </P> <Ul> <Li> Belarus switched to summer time in Spring 2011 and did not switch back, and is now observing UTC + 03: 00 all year round . The midpoint of Belarus has longitude 28 ° E (corresponds to UTC + 1.8). </Li> <Li> Iceland observes UTC all year round despite being at longitudes (13 ° W - 24 ° W) which would indicate UTC − 1 . Iceland's high latitude (the Reykjavík region, home to nearly two - thirds of the country's people, is at 64 ° N) means that sunset and sunrise times change by many hours over the year, and the effect of changing the clock by one hour would, in comparison, be small . </Li> <Li> Russia used "permanent summer time" from 2011 to 2014 . In October 2014 Russia changed permanently back to standard time (UTC + 03: 00 in the country's west, including Moscow), setting the clocks back one hour at the same time as other European countries did . </Li> <Li> Turkey decided not to observe daylight saving time anymore in September 2016, and decided to stay in UTC + 3 throughout the year rather than switching back to its original time UTC + 2 . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Belarus switched to summer time in Spring 2011 and did not switch back, and is now observing UTC + 03: 00 all year round . The midpoint of Belarus has longitude 28 ° E (corresponds to UTC + 1.8). </Li>

Do the rest of europe change their clocks
