This is something that normally doesn't happen unless you move your system
from one timezone to another or during system setup

In many countries the time zone changes 2 times a year because of the
summer time.

No, this is DST: Daylight Saving Time.

The indication of the use of DST is included in the timezone information
(but currently not correctly applied by FPC's runtime).

The timezone itself does not change, unless you physically move the machine from, say, Belgium to Russia.
