CMF tests and parsing must be independent of the timezone

Some tests are failing with errors such as "expected:<Thu Feb 25 1[5:14:35 CET] 2010> but was:<Thu Feb 25 1[4:14:35 UTC] 2010>".
Corresponding code to the above sample is:

assertEquals("Thu Feb 25 15:14:35 CET 2010", receptionDate.getTime().toString());

Tests must not compare strings for date checks. More globally, the tests must be independent of the timezone where they are ran.
