-** To date (last review 07/apr/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. After some checks for mainland Spain, mixed timezones were found: e.g. Palau Reial station reports data in local time but Madrid reports in UTC. Until this issue is solved (EEA reminded States to provide correct metadata), all 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.
