They're basically doing the same thing China does. It just ends up looking even sillier because there's an international border between them and Germany.
Portugal's a little weird because they should he UTC-1, and unlike their neighbours they don't stretch their time massively by pretending to be in the same time zone as Germany. But they compromise by being in UTC.
