CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela is going to review its time zone, which has been out of kilter with the rest of North and South America since the late President Hugo Chavez changed it by half an hour in 2007.

President Nicolas Maduro on Friday ordered a review of the change, which moved the country's clocks up to 4.5 hours behind Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) from 5 hours behind GMT.
