D.S.T. (a.k.a. Summer Time) started 1 week later in the U. S. and Canada than in Europe from 1987 to 2006, and it ended the same day from 1996 to 2006. But in 2005, President Bush asked Congress to move the beginning back to the 2nd Sunday of March and to make the end the Sunday after Halloween (a ridiculous holiday here in the States on which children of families of all income levels put on costumes and go door to door begging for candy) effective in 2007.
The only countries that remained in sync with the U.S. when the schedule changed were Canada, Bermuda, Bahamas and Turks & Caicos. Then in 2010 Mexico changed the D.S.T. schedule of ten Mexican cities along the U. S. border to match the U. S. schedule, but the rest of Mexico remains on the old schedule. Beginning in 2013, Cuba will be starting D.S.T. on the same day as the U. S., but they will be ending it the same day as Mexico and Europe.

Europe and the United States follow their own daylight saving time schedules based on historical, cultural, and geographic reasons. The dates for changing the clocks are not synchronized because each region has different considerations such as energy savings, agriculture, and public opinion. While there have been attempts to harmonize these changes, differences continue to persist.

Resetting the clocks is not a universal custom. Some countries do, others do not.

That said the clocks go forward for the northern hemisphere around the end of March. Back for the southern hemisphere. The reverse is made around the end of October.
