Whereas it doesn't make much sense for Talossan Standard Time being used in Cézembre, and
Whereas in the neighbouring French Town of St. Malo Central European Time is being used, now
Therefore unless when otherwise mentioned the time used for official business in Cézembre will be UTC +1, which shall be referred to as CÉzembrean Time (CÉT), except in the period between the last sunday in March, 01:00 UTC and the last sunday in October, 01:00 UTC, when the time used for official business in Cézembre will be UTC +2, which shall be referred to as CÉzembrean Summer Time (CÉST).

Why not GMT? That makes much more sense geographically. Politically it doesn't really matter.

True GMT would be more correct geographically, but that is the case for France as well and they chose to stick with CET because of their connection to the continent. Spain is even further west and even they use CET. When someone actually visits Cézembre they would most likely be visiting from France and thus use CET. I assume thats what the tourists on the island do.

When I was making the Zoneu Authorisat newspaper website (good, old times) I added two clocks there for the comfort of visitors, the orange one TST and the blue one I called CZT, and it was exactly CET, because I thought that was a rational thing to do. So I totally support this act and well I would be glad to co-sponsor it.

A slightly ridiculous compromise might be to go with UTC +1 but not use daylight saving time, so in winter we match France and in summer we match the UK. That might cause frequent confusion though.
