The joint-decree cancels the Shared Holiday by Government Decree for an Extended Weekend of February 8 (three days only from today), May 2, and May 19, 2008, which were all declared last summer (2007-05-31).
The decree does not cover the private sector, but it is expected to follow the government overall.
