This is determined by the $conf[calendar][params][utc] parameter from  
horde/kronolith/config/conf.php. Since the Netherlands is at the  
moment two hours ahead of UTC, I guess this value is currently  
'false'. Before setting this to 'true', mind the notes in the  
Kronolith administration page, since this will probably break existing  
appointments if you don't convert them.
