ANKARA - The day-light saving implementation will end on October 31st, 2004 as the clocks will be set back by one hour.
The summer-time which was adopted together with the European countries, has been continuing since March 28th, 2004.
A total of 6.2 billion kilowatt hours of energy has been saved with summer-time application from 1990 to 2003.
