-** To date (05/feb/2016) EIONET is still reporting a NULL time zone for observations in Spain, Lithuania, Macedonia and Slovenia.** It is assumed that observations are in UTC. A couple of checks for mainland Spain shown that observations in NULL timezone where indeed reported in UTC. Consequently, observations are stored in UTC.
+** Since 20/apr/2016 EIONET is reporting the metadata for the time zone of observations in Spain, Lithuania, Macedonia and Slovenia (that was previously missing). Therefore, all observations since 20/apr/2016 should be as correct as the information provided by the Member States to EIONET. To date, 05/may/2016 we are still troubleshooting (in contact with Generalitat de Catalunya and EIONET) a discrepancy of 1h of difference in observations for Catalunya. ** \\
+Until 20/apr/2016 it was assumed that observations were in UTC, when no metadata was provided.
 Please refer to the "Usage" section for **configuration options** and to see details about pollutant acronyms/notations and time spans of observations.
