irb(main):004:0> DateTime.strptime('2015-11-12 CET', '%Y-%m-%d %Z')
=> #<DateTime: 2015-11-12T00:00:00+01:00 ((2457338j,82800s,0n),+3600s,2299161j)>
irb(main):005:0> DateTime.strptime('2015-11-12 CET', '%Y-%m-%d %Z').to_time
=> 2015-11-12 08:00:00 +0900

I think it is better to preserve timezone information as 2015-11-12 00:00:00 +0100
