IceQueen: Unlike the US, Europe hasn't changed its DST rules for quite some time (last time in 1996). DST starts 1AM UTC on the last Sunday of March, ending at 1AM UTC on the last Sunday of October. From 1996 to 2006, the US started DST one week later than Europe, ending in the same weekend. But several years of Bush policy had fuel prices rocketing, requiring a savings, hence an extension on both ends of DST in the US. In Europe, it's still winter - no DST here yet.
