The official name of the time zone here in Germany is Mitteleuropaeische
Zeit (MEZ).  There is no such thing as *the* middle european time zone,
because it spans many countries, even if the EU now standardizes the
daylight saving rules.  For me, the name of the local time zone is
Europe/Berlin, btw (under Linux, of course).  The concept of time zone
abbreviations is flawed, they are too ambiguous.
