An IFR flight plan can be activated with ATC in the time period of two hours before your filed departure time to two hours after."
Totally incorrect in Europe.
You are allowed to depart from 15 min before until 30 min after unless you have been issued with a CTOT, in which case it is 5 min before to 10 min after the CTOT (not your own EOBT).
