+# from a Commission proposal to a Common Position....  What this means is:
+#
+# - The eighth directive proposal rules have been accepted.
+#   These are the same as the current rules (last Sunday in March and last
+#   Sunday in October).  The rules will run until 2001.
+#
+# - The French have had their request to abandon summer time turned down.
+#   They have been promised some sort of review in 1999 which might change
