The European Union member countries started observing Daylight Saving Time (DST) at the same time in 1996. This harmonization was implemented to create a consistent approach to time changes within the EU.
Daylight saving ("summer time") in France and all other EU countries (and some non-EU countries) runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. The clock change, forwards in spring in backwards in autumn, always occurs at 01:00 UTC (GMT). The end of daylight saving time in France therefore occurs at 03:00 Central European Summer Time, when the clocks go back to 02:00 Central European Time. In 2008, this happened on 26 October.
Most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.
The New England states observe Daylight Saving Time along with most other states in the U.S. to make better use of daylight during the longer days of spring and summer, resulting in energy savings and promoting outdoor activities. This practice is regulated at the federal level, so all states within the country adhere to the same schedule.
During Daylight Saving Time, most regions in Western Europe move their clocks forward one hour to gain more daylight. Spain is an exception, as it follows Central European Time and does not adjust for Daylight Saving Time. This causes Spain to temporarily be on the same time as nearby countries that observe Daylight Saving Time.

No, Uzbekistan is not a member of the EU, nor is it under consideration for EU membership at any future time.
Most of the year, France is 6 hours later than the U.S. eastern time zone. During the changeover to Daylight Savings Time in both the U.S. and EU, the zones can be either 5 or 7 hours out of sync if the changeover happens on different weekends.
No, Portugal was not an original EU member. It only joined in 1986, at the same time as Spain. This was 34 years after the EU had originally formed.

No. The present (western orientated) government wants EU membership in the future but the opposition parties (many of which are more Russian orientated) are against EU membership. At present corruption and income levels are far below even the EU's poorest countries (Romania and Bulgaria) but maybe in 10 years time EU membership will be possible.
There were never 26 countries in the EU. In 2007 Bulgaria and Romania joined at the same time, bringing the total from 25 directly to 27.
